The Weight of Gifts Unearned

A message pings, 'I found this for you!'
a delicate figurine, so fragile, adorned,
each curve a kindness I can't comprehend,
I’m surprised by how it feels in my palm,
a weight of grace I didn’t think I deserved.
It sits now on my shelf, a silent reminder,
of someone’s thoughtfulness, an unearned gift,
while I wrestle with the echo of my worth,
can I really hold this beauty, without shame,
a testament to kindness, caught in glass?
