Your Gift
Your Gift
I’m not rich in material things, yet I have a little to give
Small things in life I like, monetary things are not important
This gift is special , I hope you accept it and feel its wealth
Your gift will not be wrapped; I want you to see it in its glory
Wrapping would ruin its special effect
Here I stand before you; unashamed, as you have taught me
Unclothed and naked for all to see
You own part of me, the piece that is my heart
My soul is no longer mine and has not been for a while
Willingly, happily and lovingly
I give to you myself.
To hold and feel
Breathing is difficult; as our hearts beat a special tune of love
Each beat is stronger—pounding
Nothing other than our feelings can be felt
We hear only our hearts beat of love
I am giving you this gift, because I can so look inside
Tenderly slowly and lovingly you begin to search inside
Quickly almost in a frenzy, you explore your gift
Holding it gently in the palm of your hand
Wet and juicy just like a fruit
Sweet and succulent, not like candy
Juices flow like a river running along a lush meadow
Flowers blossom with a radiance I can’t describe
Your gift opens not like a bud, but like a flower in the morning dew
You caress my flower not in the frenzy of not knowing
But with the understanding of what my gift has offered you
Once the gift is opened, you will never get enough or let me go

Hi Vickie ~~ A lovely post, the poem is beautiful as are the roses. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your lovey words on my blog, so nice of you. BTW I have awarded a Nice Matters Award to you. Connie from Serious Mumbo Jumbo
gave it to me and I had to pass it on. When
you give us lovely posts like this one, you surely deserve it. Take care, my friend.
Much love, Merle.

Well, when I saw this was ADULT, I didn’t know if you’d allow me to comment!
You do have a gift for writing, Ms. Vickie.
Take care of yourself, and yes I’m taking it easy (sort of) to be up for our date!

What a nice post to land on, refreshing and positive. The poem and the roses are beautiful, from the rose bud to the open blooming rose, what a nice picture!

This was so beautiful just like you. Thankyou Vicki for all your support sweet friend I am truly blessed.

So what is the gift, and which was the rose - could it be the hand that held it; the heart that feels it’s soothing touch; the soul that needs to share it’s natural beauty. Mmmm.

Hi again Vickie ~~ Thanks for your comments. I am so glad you have such good memories of your
father who lived by the golden rule.
Peter has posted the Nice Matters award on my blog, and you can copy it if you wish, and choose eight others to receive it. Hope you are
feeling OK. Take care dear friend, Love, Merle.

Beautiful writing and exquisite photo of the dew covered rose!

I hope you are the Vickie who left me birthday wishes on my blog (via Merle’s blog). Love all the emoticons!
August 16th, 2007 at 12:05 am
Don’t know how that happened, but the wrong blog address got into my comment above. Sorry! And couldn’t delete it…

Hi again Vickie ~~ Thanks for wishing Val a Happy Birthday and for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed the Real and Fake Friends. Take care my friend, Love, Merle.

Dear Vickie,
You are indeed a blooming rose and one that flourishes in the heat of a lover’s touch. No thorns do you have, just a core that is intoxicating to behold.
August 17th, 2007 at 8:22 am
Wow. Such beautiful imagery. Thank you.
August 18th, 2007 at 8:09 am
You’re such a wonderful, gifted poet! Beautiful post!
August 18th, 2007 at 7:44 pm
You write so well. I love your poetry….and I can almost smell the roses. I wonder if you have a very expensive camera to take those beautiful pics. I just bought myself a sony digital for $300 and I can’t seem to get great pics like that.
Have a wonderful week!
August 22nd, 2007 at 2:34 pm
Vickie, that’s beautiful. Can I copy it and paste it into a word document that I can keep?
And what a GORGEOUS yellow rose.
Cheers,
Josie

The gift, although beautiful and delicate,pales in comparison to the giver (YOU!).
