The Perfect Gift - It was ?

The Gift


I wandered into a special shop

to buy a special gift for her

it had to be just perfect

to show her how much I cared

item after item I lifted to examine

a crystal bell, ceramic Asian doll

I must have looked at 100 things

but each and every thing

was missing something

none of them gave me the feeling

of the gift she had given to me


she gave to me her prefect heart

her beautiful eyes of gray

her lips so soft and sweet

her golden hair spread as she lay


she gave to me her perfect love

setting me above her needs

listened while I chatted endlessly

she went busily through her day


she gave to me the perfect gift

so unique one of a kind

she gave to me her very soul

she gave herself to me


.... she was the gift

"she gave to me the perfect gift
so unique one of a kind
she gave to me her very soul
she gave herself to me"
No weakness in the amazing poem. When a woman loved us for our good and bad. She is a gift. Thank you for the outstanding poem.
