I tried to think of a gift

that would be special to you.

A gift of treasure that would endure

thru the days of our lifes.

 

Would gold and jewels

things that could rust

and turn to dust

in the sands of time

be such a gift?

 

I think not

for the earth holds many trinkets from the ages.

Trinkets buried deeply in the earth

long forgotten of their purpose.

Forgotten of the song they held so long ago.

 

I give thee my words of my heart

that are enclosed within the eternity of my soul.

Eternity with such a gift

that will go beyond the decaying trinkets of the earth.

 

If it is God’s will that death should temporary seperate us

this gift shall be my seal of love

to clothe you in the light of my love

and carry you forward to the day

we shall meet again in the eternity that is before us.

 

It will be a place without pain

hurt or further sorrow for us.

A place where we shall again open the seal of my love.

A place where we will laugh again in joy each day

in the wonder of our love.
