I have a gift to give you it's not something that I give to just anyone it's been with me a long time it won't cost you anything and chances are, you've always wanted one it's the right size extra large it's the right color red and it goes with everything you have it's a little bruised and battered but it's healed quite well and, if you take care of it, it will be with you for a lifetime giving you what you give to it and so much more hold it close and it will hold you closer love it and it will always love you so here it is, a gift freely given waiting to be accepted so it can be returned to you the gift of love the gift of my heart. . . I Love You. . . ------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Sven, this truly is a prized gift, and only you could make such a sweet offer. Now here is the question of the year. How many did you give it to at the Party last night? |

the best gift one can give or receive, Sven here's one I wrote as Moonchild...but is appropriate for a response to yours GIFT OF HEART Where It Will Always Remain I reach into my pocket every now and then and there it remains, always with me, a heart of stone. Fingering it's shape sight unseen, every curve smooth and cool until warmed by my touch. When my fingers take hold do you feel the warmth? You have carved meaning into my life and for that I will always be grateful. Only good memories shall I know with each touch of my heart. ~Wynter ...
