GIFTS FROM THE SOUL
by Veronica M. Hay
I give you twenty rivers with twenty different songs,
the romance of a flower and a bee,
the rapture of a sun kissed face.
I give you a thousand diamonds on a sandy beach,
a million emeralds in a mountain valley,
a hundred rubies in a field of roses,
and seven sapphires in a true blue sea.
I give you shamrocks to wish on,
and buttercups to dance on,
and tulips to cry with, and lilies to die with.
I give you trees to talk to,
and meadows to hold you tight.
I give you puppy dog's noses and polar bear hugs,
a unicorn's laughter and a baby's face.
I give you moonbeams to light your way,
starlight to mark your path,
and soft white clouds to wrap around your heart.
I give you smiles to remind you,
and laughter to surround you.
I give you thunder to wake you,
and lightening to shake you,
and solitude to remake you,
and music to take you to places
of long ago and far away.
I give you the earth to embrace you,
and raindrops to taste you,
and friendships to hold you,
and firelight to enfold you.
I give you an enchanted forest
where the dreamer sleeps and waits for you.
I give you eternity in a moment,
and a lifetime of forevers.
I give you spring to wake your spirit,
and summer to warm your soul.
I give you autumn to wait in solitude,
and winter to rest in a blanket of snow.
I give you imagination to explore,
appreciation to be at your side,
and magic to be your guide.
I give you Yesterday,
placed in yellow blankets of daffodils
to cherish for the memories each petal holds.
I give you Today,
held on the wings of a butterfly,
opened for the very first time,
to flights of fancy wherever they may be.
I give you Tomorrow,
wrapped in silver mist,
to be seen with the eyes of a child,
heard with the ears of a fawn,
and felt with the heart of a God.
I give you all the kings horses and all the kings men,
and Humpty Dumpty put back together again.
I give you another chance, another day, another way.
I give you all these gifts,
already placed in your heart,
to be opened one by one.
Whenever you are ready, they await you.............
