Understand the Ties

When someone is so nice to you that tears come to your eyes,
how often do we think of them and understand the ties?
 
A mere "thank you" is not enough, nor is a pretty card -
and smiles and hugs?  They too fall short as inch does to a yard.

When someone acts unselfishly and goes the extra mile,
so priceless are the friendships of the loyal caring smile.

And also true, when life surrenders full and total loss,
that everything falls ever short when viewing full, the cross.
 
When someone dies for what we've done, it's something to behold.
His precious, loving, selfless act is worth much more than gold.
 
When someone is so nice to you that tears come to your eyes,
how often do we think of Christ and understand the ties?
