my heart beat feels yours
as we press against each other
and the warmth of my face
next to yours hopefully will suffice
My gifts are small
I have not much like others do,
my riches in this world are few
but I can love you with the wealth
of kings and turn your tears
to diamonds with my kisses
I see what others gift
and wonder; if all was lost
would they still have
each other, would their fingers
still intertwine like lovers do
would they still kiss?
When strife and sadness comes
and it comes to all
will an embrace be enough
if my pockets are empty
and all I can give
is my heart
And when darkness falls onto my eyes
the riches of my heart
will it have been enough
to keep you for awhile
until another comes
to make you smile
Oh kiddo, this is so beautiful. Believe me, the gift of a heart such is yours is beyond price. Turning tears to diamonds with your kisses and fingers intertwining in the hard times is the real thing. No small gift - but the very best gift of all - a true heart.
