Like Brings Like


by Helene Parry


Content chosen, sealed,

Bond firm,

Clasp tight.


You, drawing near him,

Silently weighing matters,

Special moment, this.

How strange, shedding tears

Wrapping gift as well as card ...

Even so, you have.

Shouldn't you wow him?!


Him: 'Wow! You shouldn't have!'

You, so even: 'Card as well!'

As gift-wrapping tears, shedding,

Strange how this moment, special, matters, weighing silently!


Him, near,

Drawing you.

Tight clasp,

Firm bond sealed,

Chosen,

Content.
