A gift within

Your eyes twinkle
Your mind wonders
Your strength grows
With every heartbeat
A bit scared yet gifted
At the sight of happiness
You may run
You may hide
For it will never go

A gift of loving
Brings you joy
Hand to hand
Kiss to kiss
Loving eyes
A strange look
For its true love


A sigh from another
Wondering why
As they see the love
In ones eyes
Wishing for the
Gift of love
