here is a gift i give
to you i freely relinquish it
without conditions placed on this gift
i've placed it into your hands
and plead with you
to treasure it and for it care
it beats the love i have
it beats the life i long to give to you
it is tied with the ambition i have
it is enscrypted with the images
and dreams of you and i
do not drop it or let it whither
for my trust is placed in it
and to you i give it freely
