Gift Wrappers

I'm not the surprise
Neither the gift.
I'm just a thin layer
Wrapped around his skin.

I'm not what you asked for.
It is him all the time.
And you tear me off whenever
You call him "Mine."

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
