Birthday Gift


By Justine C. Tajonera

We were at a loss over
what to give you.
You haven't read
all your books,
you have too many
toys and we don't have
enough space.


But when you
opened your eyes
and smiled
at us,
we realized
that there is no
gift
quite like
you.

You're the most
wonderful thing
that happened
to us,
little one.

There's nothing
we can give you
that would ever
approximate
your very
existence.

So, we didn't worry
over things like
presents, though
we gave you one,
anyway.

We linked hands
and gathered you
in our
arms
in
gratitude.
