I wanted to reward your soft words,
But, couldn't buy
the soft glow of the moon, or
the twinkle of the stars.
I wanted to give you something
for the affection you showered on;
But, I could not give you
The reviving shade of a tree, or
the cool still of a pond.
I wanted to pay for your loving care
But, how could I get
the bloom of a new bud, or
a balmy breeze for you?
I wanted to give you something
for your love and kindness-
the whole universe - yes!
I am not rich
and all that I have
is a loving heart.
So, here it is-
Friend, take it and
carry my heart wherever you may go!
