The Gift

Big things come in small packages
And that’s what she gave him
A small token of her affection
No special occasion
No holiday treat
No special event
Just a gift of appreciation
She did it-just because
Beautiful little gift
Adorned with lace
Wrapped in silk
And topped with a precious flower
Beautiful-Just like her
He was:
F-reaky
I-mpish
R-apacious
S-editious
T-ermagant
But still, she gave it to him
Her Gift
Something he couldn’t buy from the store
Oh, this was much more
No way to return this gift
Plus it was made to fit
So it wasn’t too big
Nor too small
The only thing that he could do
Was take it
How selfishly selfish
How thoughtfully thoughtless
He took it from her
The gift
He didn’t stick around long enough
She never heard ‘thank you’
She never knew his heart was hollow
It was a bitter pill
She had to
Swallow
