A Gift

A gift of power
so strong it holds
The universal key of life
In its wrapping, and
As I undo the layer
Upon layer of you I find
Much more than I dreamed
Would ever be there.
Inner strength and yet
Childlike too,
You are all things
To me that you could be
And even things I did not see
This is your gift to me.
To meet one day
And live the dream
To see it made reality as if
By wondrous touch
And special words
This is your gift to me
To hold you close
And feel you breathe
To know the love
Will never leave
This is your gift to me.
