Gifts

Seems to me

Seems to me a great gift comes

Enveloped between layers

Layers concealing properties and surprises

Carefully laid wrappings

And adornments, could be paper

Cardboard or garments

But I prefer cloth, if asked

Cloth around you wrapped

With finishing laces all about

And ribbons to your hair tied

Upon releasing such concealment

Taking away the multiple wrappings

Uncover the beautiful truth

A naked approach to the gift

Not only of flesh composed

But the sentiment guarded with in

Of what seems to me a wonderful gift

Happy Valentine´s day!
