The Gift of an Ear

You can give her a dozen roses, to touch

You can give her a shiny rock, to feel

You can give her a bottle of perfume, to smell

You can give her a box of chocolate, to taste

OR...

You can give her your ear, to listen

If you did, you may hear that she wants a garden of rose brushes that grow back each year

If you did, you may hear that she wants loyalty that goes deep into your heart

If you did, you may hear that she wants the aroma of you next to her when she awaken

If you did, you may hear that she wants to taste the sweet passion of your kiss instead

For the gift of our ear is priceless

And it gifts back

It shares dreams, passions, fears, and healing.

And it may give you the gift of an ear back.
