Inspired by the heart of Andrea Dietrich, it is easy to be a good poet, it is much harder to be a good person with a kind heart and soul, she is all of the above!
The Paper Clip They were such a lovely couple From a very very rich family I was invited to The birthday party She was all of three Adorable and soon ever more sweet Once the candles were blown That huge cake would be such a treat Now the presents were a plenty Clothes, jewelry, toys Dolls, doll houses and bikes and more joys I was somewhat shy, mine was not so grandiose I had wrapped in an old cigar box Another box much smaller Inside a third box even smaller Inside that me gift A small piece of paper Folded with a bright red paper clip A wee little poem That said these simple words You are a treasure Hidden inside these many boxes So beautiful and worth the discovery You are the jewels of life, you so lovely I had drawn a pretty princess On the paper fine in pink redress I read her the words From the bottom of my heart Her eyes lit up so bright I got the hugest biggest hug in sight She ran away with a paper clip and Three old cigar boxes In a child’s happiness and Pure delight I sighed The gift was so just right! An afterthought from ancient times The Poetry of Wine Gifts that come from the heart Light up the soul When you gaze into a starlit sky Count the millions of gifts from the heart Their goodness shall shine Upon us mortals
