Another candle on the years
Another wish come true
The sweetest gift I've ever known
Is the love wrapped up in you

On Valentine’s Day that year, he had given her a sweet valentine. She did not have one to give. They were like that. They exchanged gifts or cards sometimes, but not by expectation. They’d always been casual about gifts. So when that perfect choice was made and given it was special. Even after almost 60 years together it was special.

The next day was her birthday. Waking up together, cozy, warm entangled, he felt bad not to have a gift for her. She said, ‘Hon, the sweetest gift I’ve ever known is the love wrapped up in you.’ And so a little poem was born. His gift and hers to celebrate.
