Love Is Giving

Your heart is like a precious gem,
So rare and hard to find.
Eager to give away all it has,
Not just once but all the time.

Because you give, I want to give,
And make my heart an open door.
But I cannot even begin to equal you,
Because you give me so much more.

Thank you for what you’ve given me;
The desire to give of myself.
A desire to give you the contents of my heart,
And not to keep it on my shelf.

Love is a gift that must be shared,
With the object of that love, whoever it be.
Love is always sharing itself,
Thank you for sharing with me.
