My Gift To You Poem by Lesa MRK

My Gift To You

Rating: 5.0


I gave you a flower-
It was all I could give.
I let you go,
'Cause you could not live.

I never saw your eyes;
I never heard your voice;
I never touched your flesh-
I had no choice.

There hasn't been a day,
When your name hasn't come to mind.
Yet although I love you,
I must leave you behind.

Someday there will be someone,
In whose eyes I will see,
A tiny bit of you,
Gazing back at me.
(2/23/95)

A sweet poem, unpretentious, not very original in subject matter but good nevertheless or inspite of it. Best H
