My Gift To You
I have sat here and pondered the many
horizons
of the emotions that drift through my
heart
and I recollect the tears, the laughter,
the heartache and the glory.
And I wonder how it was,
that I made the journey into today.
Then you stray into my thoughts,
and I recall how many times you have
held my hand
and guided me through the darkness
and showed me the light.
Then I think of the laughter you gave to
me,
the smiles you brought to my eyes,
and the warmth you poured into my heart.
For those many gifts you have offered
me,
I feel compelled to give something in
return.
But what gift is worthy of such a friend
as you?
Only the finest delights are suitable
for such a friend as you.
But I am not wealthy in a monetary
fashion,
and haven’t the means to give such a
wondrous gift.
So I sit asking myself what I have to
offer,
and just what gift is worthy.
So I give to you something special to
me.
Not a material object to be looked at or
used,
but rather a place where one can rest
easy
and drift into serenity.
Close your eyes if you will and take
your thoughts to a place
where light dances across clear blue
lakes
and enchanting evergreens offer shelter
and blue skies bring the warmth of the
sun.
Where a song is whispered to you from
the doves high above,
and the scents of the flowers ease your
mind.
Here in this special place you have
wings to fly
and float on warm gentle breezes.
And you can see a vast array of colors
burning
into the distance.
Here you are at one with the angels,
and you can be at peace in your heart.
For if you can see my special place,
it is yours to call home and you can
always
close your eyes and return again.
So please take my humble offering,
and go there often, knowing that in my
heart
I am with you in a place in my mind.
This is my gift for you,
as you are my special friends.
