Today, on this your special day, I give you these things; with you to stay, <br />I give you what’s left of my hopes, if yours are not enough, <br />I give you my strength, so you may never know what its like to give up, <br />I give you my touch, if it promises you full comfort, <br />I give you my only shoe, so you may never be soiled by dirt, <br />I give you my joy, so it spares you of all pain, <br />I give you my shelter, so you may never feel it rain, <br />I give you my pride, so it may lift you to the sky, <br />I give you my courage, so I may never see you cry, <br />I give you my heart, so it may tell you how I feel, <br />So many unsure things in life, but though among them, I promise I am real.<br /><br />Phantom Anonymous<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-her-birthday/
