give me that something special thing
that mirrors the depth of your style
give me the presence of your being
that lights up my life with your smile.
Bestow upon me the greatest of gifts
worth more than all money and gold
bless me with moments of priceless friendship
and magical moments untold
endear me with your company, share of your life
and give me your time to behold.
The gift of your time is the greatest of gifts
that you can give unto your family and friends
and nothing's more precious to me than those
hours
Friendship is everything...and this poem is so lovely, and should be shared with both friends and family. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI so appreciate those kind words, blogoratti ... many thanks
DeleteYou brought a smile to me ..
There should be more lily pads in the world. They are such an unlikely plant, such an elegant solution to survival --perfect for your poem.
ReplyDeleteGeo, this photo was taken in Nova Scotia a few years ago ... the lily pad pond was magnificent!
DeleteI am glad you think it goes perfectly with the poem ..
Margie, how beautiful you can compose about what is important in life.
