Notes About The Poem

The Gift That I Give You

The Gift That I Give You
** True love is the gift of freedom to live, it’s never possessive or oppressive. **
My gift to you is a bottomless jar That I'll top up every day with love hearts Hearts made from sugar candy just for you Each one comes with a tweet, loving and sweet. There’s assortment of colour and flavour Put one to your lips, feel the sherbet fizz All yours, Kiss me, Date me, Love me, The one These are a few tasters, others to come. Poetic lines from your own troubadour For your eyes only, read the words slowly Treasure each message that kisses your heart I'll love you till the day we're torn apart. Though we pass from here to eternity I pray that our last days are faraway When we're in heaven eventually Our love will shine brightly eternally. 27th June 2021 ** Quote poets own. **

Thank you Curtis, sadly when love has to part, there’s one left behind with a broken heart… Belle
