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?
