I need not diamonds to feel your love, nor do I need roses carried by a dove. I do not need perfumes expensive, from afar, I need not a house nor a fancy car. No, don't give me diamonds or a great piece of art, just give me the gift the gift of your heart. On the wings of words our spirits fly, and our souls are free. ~me~ |

GS* At first the title told me you had lost your mind but after reading....this is absolutely beautiful..and yes the heart is the only thing of value or worth when it comes to love...the rest is merely clutter~ The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched ---- they must be felt with the heart~ *??* |

I've been given diamond I thought that it was "IT" and now I see that diamond in treasured drawer just sit I see a diamond in the eye of the giver, can you see... I see it in the sparkle of the eye that loves just me... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

The one gift that can truely keep on giving and of course we all know that it is the only one that truely counts. Loved the read, now I guess I better go return some of these gifts I have purchased. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |

A ring of warmth, of love is worth much more than any gem. You have said this no sweetly! Kris All good poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings...~William Wordsworth |
