The Last Cake

What should I get her? A diary, I know she loves to write. No, that is what I got her last time. A book, maybe poetry? No, she already has so many. What should I get her? What do you give someone who is so pure, so soft? I should write her a poem, That will cheer her up, I hope. The unquenchable thirst for love, support and respect that she has building inside of her waiting for that one text, that one call. What should I get someone who has everything yet nothing, who sings the tune of warmth and valour but her melancholy heart is still healing from the pain of the past. What should I get someone who are all colours of the rainbow and still just one. What then should I get you Amma, on your day that is fast approaching?
