A Gift of Love

I bought my love a white chocolate rose Filled with honey and strawberry cream I placed it in the car to get a card It melted in a chocolate stream I bought a plant of beautiful bloom Pink and red and white But placed it in the hallway Too drafty and so it died I bought my love a golden heart With citrine and sapphires A splendid work of art Glittering strung with wires But when I placed it on his neck The chain was much too small The wire snapped the catch broke And the stones and heart did fall And now I simply laughed and cried And hugged my love so dear Too late to get another gift I hugged and loved him as I shed a tear.
