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.
