Something as precious as life it's self.
It was wraped in her trust
With a ribbon of her pure intentions
and a bow made from her precious love.
She took it from a place
Deep within the depths of her soul.
Paid for with her true being.
He accepted her gift
with open arms.
Not knowing
exactly how precious
the gift, he had recieved.
As time went on....
He placed this priceless
and precious gift.
Upon a shelf of indecision.
To be covered with the dust of insincerity
And the webs of decete
Now muffeling the sounds
of the sweet sweet music from his ears.
That it still clearly sang.
The light that once shined clearly to him
from this precious gift
that she gave so freely to him.
Had grown dark.
as black as the moonless midnight to him.
By the blindfold of his own self indulgence.
Shadowed by his selfishness.
Until one day.
the gift was broken.
at his own cruel hand.
As gave it back to her.
Broken and torn beyond full repair.
The tears burned her cheek
Her trust, Her soul, Her being.
She wondered
if it would ever truely mend.
But she knew deep within.
That it could not be.
The damage was done.
The damage was permanant.
Until one day.
An angel appeared.
asking for nothing.
But with something to give.
The angel softly whispered into her ear.
"Don't worry sweet one."
Time will heal...Time will heal...
The angel wrapped it's wings around her.
She felt the warmth
That she thought she'd never feel again
The angel assured her
That the gift that she had given
That was so cruely returned
Though may always be scarred.
Would one day be whole again.
She looked
into the caring and loving eyes of the angel
And finally felt the healing begin.
She stood there
Wrapped in the warmth
of the angels love and hope.
The angel took the gift she once gave
from her hand
...It was her heart...........
And placed it gently back within her.
Then took her soft trembling hand
And placed it on her chest.
She felt it beating once again.
A tear rolled down her sweet face.
Not of sorrow....But of joy this time.
And for the first time since she had given the gift......
An eternity ago...
Once again......
Her heart smiled
