Gift

What can I give you?
Only this Rose; Hold it carefully
I have given my smiles to
The petals, blood to colour it,
My eyes to make it shine and
My heart beats to convey
My message to you; I admit
The gift is small-Yet
Too large to contain the universe.

Never lose heart my love, see
The sun has spread the carpet
Of pearly dew; The moon for you
Will illuminate the entire blanket
Star studded and beautiful,
The breeze is  ready with its trumpet
To synchronize with the Nightingale.

Just step out of your palace dear
See the world is waiting to shower
Blessings on you, Face the world
With my Rose of love and sing,
I will join you wherever I be.
