Gift

Gift, hand-picked
Meant to be opened
Meant to be enjoyed
As we ceremonially
Open the gift  
Carefully removing the bow  
Laying it aside
We realize the process
As our passage
To our journey
 
Spent a lifetime
Searching for you
Let's make
The most of it
This gift, offered  
An avenue of growth
Enhancing our lives
Together and separately
 
Our duty
To recognize
Roadblocks along way
The song "Truly Madly Deeply"
Really says it all
Let that quality
Be the carrot
Driving us
 
Love you fully, deeply
Often without
Thought for self
Absolutely adore and admire you
Have tremendous respect for you
You are certainly
One of a kind
So fortunate
To have met you
Let's celebrate
Open our gift
Live our life.
