I captured such a treasured gift
To keep within my heart
I enclosed my life around it
So it will ever last

Then whenever I am near or far
Sleeping or awake
I can live within the dream of it
Yet always give away

This little gift you freely gave
Is one you always knew
The very love, the life you give
The very heart of you.
