He Gave Her a Book
In two days, she’d marry the love of her life,
She always dreamed of becoming a wife.
But she was a bit sad; she never knew her dad,
As far as parents go, her mom was all she had.
Lost in her thoughts, she heard a thud outside,
it was a package; she wondered what was inside.
She closed the door and opened the box up,
to her surprise, it was a book and a coffee cup.
The title of the book was “ I Give You My Heart”
the note read, I loved you from the very start.
I'm sorry I couldn't be apart of your life, my child,
I got terminally ill, your thoughts may be running wild.
Immediately, she shed tears for a dad, she never knew,
as she continued to read, she was no longer sad and blue.
In the book, you'll learn who your father is,
you'll see I love science; in fact, I'm a whiz
I also gave you my favorite cup; it's special to me,
live life to the full and may it be filled with glee.
