My Greatest Gift

You came into my life,

and like a present awaiting me on Christmas day,

I peeled off your wrapping;

I delved deep into your mind

to find the greatest gift that had ever been mine

 

You were the last thing that I expected,

but I’m glad that you belong to me

because I’ve never had anybody who I adore

who loves me even more

 

And you have your flaws like any other

But I would never return you for being broke

because imperfections make you real

and that’s the way love is supposed to feel

Wow. It's been a while. I have been remiss in checking out your poems. What a great write. Simple, elegant, truthful.
