My Gift

One look at her and I slip out of reality In all her ways, she is untarnished She seems untouched by human frailties A work of art Shaped, formed, molded, by the gods To be one of their own. He made her for him - he made her from his bone. Of all his creatures and wonders, There is none so sacred, so special or beautiful as you. Of all his creatures, there's none with a heart so pure so pleasant or so true! I don't know how I got someone like you, I'd say he read my dreams, saw my heart, heard my wishes But that he did not do - For mere human minds can't comprehend the splendor That's you! A gift you are, that I can see Too special a gift for someone undeserving as me. A gift I treasure with all of my heart, A gift that engulfs me, I could never part! Copyright © 2007 Leslie Alexis
