A Kiss

Here is your present.

If you open it you will find something of no monetary value.

It has no mass.

No dimensions.

But it sure is heavy.

 

You can’t hold it,

But you can feel it

You can’t write with it ,

But it leaves a mark

It may be small,

But it grows over time

 

I want you to take it. Keep it. Cherish it.

And on the first day of your first born’s life

Give it away

 

Don’t ever wipe it off

It loses all power,

All love,

All meaning if you do.

Everybody knows that.

 

Even if today is the last day that our paths cross

You will always have this gift.

Please take care of it.
