For Her Birthday Poem by Phantom Anonymous

Today, on this your special day, I give you these things; with you to stay,
I give you what’s left of my hopes, if yours are not enough,
I give you my strength, so you may never know what its like to give up,
I give you my touch, if it promises you full comfort,
I give you my only shoe, so you may never be soiled by dirt,
I give you my joy, so it spares you of all pain,
I give you my shelter, so you may never feel it rain,
I give you my pride, so it may lift you to the sky,
I give you my courage, so I may never see you cry,
I give you my heart, so it may tell you how I feel,
So many unsure things in life, but though among them, I promise I am real.
