Here within my hand I hold
A piece of clay for me to mold.
I'll sculpt for you a heart to find.
It will be unique, one of a kind.

This fragile gift I give to you.
Just know my feelings for you are true.
So nurture it and watch it grow.
Hold on tight, don't let it go.

Quaint ideas expressed. A very simplistic rhyming scheme, could be well suited to the simple nature of the poem though. I think the strongest line is "fragile gift for you to mold". Try some more diverse patterns perhaps to add interest.

Eloise-
I like your Valentine phrases.
Spoken straight from the heart.
You go girl !

Eloise, This is so beautiful! Perfect in every way! I love it!

Did Jesus laugh?
I think He did,
'cause He was once
a little kid;
and all of us
were made with joy
both sugar-spice girl
and snake-snail boy!

cc, thanks for the suggestion, but it was written simple and I think I'll keep it simple.

Marge, sweetheart as always, thanks for your comments.

Walt, wouldn't even consider touching that edit button now! LOL - thanks.

Echo, a big thanks to you too.

Eloise,
I love it as it is. My favorite line is also 'a piece of clay for me to mold.'
