How long have you sat there,
With your hands folded into your lap?

Or are you even a painting,
Maybe just a statue of marble and glass?

Painting a statue could be considered a crime,
In a way, plagiarism  
Whereas chasing after a thief of natural beauty,
Would be worth more of the time

Such a cruel trick to play- stealing such a gift
From someone who had received it
From the best sender yet
If the thief thought that the victim should prove herself
How wrong he would have been
If she had not been worthy or ready
It would not have been sent
