A song of hope

There's a present
wrapped and waiting
in your heart.
There's a ribbon
that just aches
to be untied.
There are layers
upon layers,
tissue thin,
of joy
and sorrow
that are hoping
to be slowly
peeled away.
And beneath it all --
expectant,
dreaming,
yearning --
lies the One
you have been seeking
that is Love.
