Your Presence Is a Present Indeed

You’re wearing a T-shirt with a red bow
It looks so beautiful on you, and I dream of Christmas
As in a dream, Love, you’re so wonderful
How lucky I am to receive such a perfect gift

I’ve watched you closely trying register you in my memories
From head to toes, you have the beauty of an angel
I’ve thought ringing in my head wonderful melodies
As my dreams turn into realities

I will probably stay up all night tonight
Composing a poem to mark this morning’s sight
As the beautiful rose unfolds its petals, you are a perfect gift
To the world, God has offered in his might

I have debated myself with hesitations
For my lack of words, my inability to express fully my emotions
You’re a dream of dreams, my Muse, Grace of  all graces
Your return has inundated eternal stream of poetry

Poetic lines are written in the turbulence of burning love
Your presence is a present indeed
A warm love in the cold and freezing season of Winter
A source of happiness and a spring of poetry in abundance
