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.

did the dad drop off the book, or the dad wrote the book and someone dropped it off? (even if it's fictional i figure you could imagine which way it happened...) :O so moving!

What a special wedding gift the book from her father was, and how wonderful to discover that he'd loved her all along. I wouldn't be at all surprised if this excellent poem is a winner. Kindest regards, my friend. :) Evelyn
