Tomorrow is Manghud’s birthday, I was supposed to make a gift for her like what I did for Nikki but I’m a bit lazy and the idea won’t be so original anymore cause I told her about it. So, while I was thinking that I should just write her a simple letter (I know it’s childish) but when I started typing my thoughts down I had a sudden flow of idea and this is what I came up. I almost cried while writing and re-reading it (I know I’m so lame
) Anyway, here’s my birthday poem:
My Gift
(c) dcec 26Oct09
My gift to you is intangible but, very overt.
It cannot be measured yet, at some point you can gauge its worth.
It can most be seen as a basket of: comfort, little joys, laughter and love.
My gift is my eyes,
to look at you kindly when you most need it,
to stare at you when you have done something inappropriate.
My gift is my lips,
to say the words you most wanted to hear,
and even say the words you wouldn’t accept.
My gift is my shoulders,
for you to lean on when you need support.
and to give you a nudge when you seem at lost of what to do.
My gift is my arms,
to hug you,
in tears and in smiles.
Or just because.
My gift is my two hands,
to hold yours when you feel cold and alone,
and to wipe your stubborn tears.
My gift to you is my two feet,
to walk miles with you,
definite or unknown destinations.
And my most precious gift to you,
Is my heart.
That sees the good in you,
That speaks my sisterly love (for I lack blood-related one)
That tells me to be there even in silence,
That will go with you all the way, despite my physical absence.
That will never falter, even when the world turned its back.
Those are my gifts,
And my promise
That I will forever keep.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MANGHUD!!!!
