I have a gift for you
unseen only felt
hidden in my heart
love takes little delight
in utterance or display
it wishes not to be smart

only to be silent
demure, pure
all else set apart

a bouquet for you
withers too soon
and rust will settle
in time upon a love-card

you too have a gift for me
through your eyes and smile
the sweetest flower of love you impart

two gifts in exchange
that's more than enough
a lifetime to last
love is the eternal language
of the true and faithful heart.
