The Gift

The gift of love is a special one.
A present that cannot be bought.
It comes from the heart freely given
Whether it’s asked for or not.

If I could give you the stars and the moon
I’d wrap them up with a bow,
And place them before you all sparkling
So the depth of my love you would know.

But since the stars in the heavens
Are not mine to give from the start,
I can only offer my love to you
From the depths of my soul and my heart.

Please accept this love that I give to you
It has no ties or commitment to fear
Take it freely with no trepidations.
It’s my gift of how deeply I care.
