The Perfect Gift
<p><br/></p><p>I tried to find something good enough,</p><p>But let me tell you—it was tough.</p><p>I’d been to every store I could find,</p><p>Yet nothing matched what I had in mind.</p><p>A gift sweeter than sugar,</p><p>A gift more precious than gold,</p><p>A gift that could last forever—</p><p>And soon enough, lo and behold,</p><p>It was more beautiful than I’d been told.</p><p>The very first gift you gave to me,</p><p>I’ll give back more than I ever received.</p><p>A gift as vast as the ocean,</p><p>With depths no eye could ever see.</p><p>A gift the world would call massive,</p><p>Yet somehow, it fit inside of me.</p><p>And the more that it grew,</p><p>The lighter my spirit felt.</p><p>And I would willingly carry it</p><p>Until the day I take my final breath.</p><p>They may call it a weight upon the shoulders,</p><p>Or a bed of roses,</p><p>A journey stretching from the first light of good</p><p>To the farthest edge of bad.</p><p>But to me,</p><p>It is the greatest relief</p><p>I could ever receive.</p><p>I will forever be grateful</p><p>That I was able to witness this—</p><p>To exist in the same timeline as you.</p><p>It would be selfish to keep you to myself,</p><p>Yet I would risk my existence if I ever let you go,</p><p>For I fear I would lose myself without you.</p><p>So, for as long as I live,</p><p>I’ll keep giving you gifts—</p><p>Each one deeper,</p><p>Sweeter,</p><p>Kinder than the last.</p><p>And though I know these gifts</p><p>May someday outlive me,</p><p>I’ll still be joyful</p><p>Knowing I was able to give them to you.</p><p>So every now and then,</p><p>I whisper to my heart:</p><p>Who would have known</p><p>That I had the perfect gift from the very start?</p>
