The Gift

I hope I gave her some gift of happiness

In the short time we had

That my friendship gave her some comfort

In the strange cold rooms she was often in

Our laughter and play

Made some sliver of her life more bearable than the rest

For you gave me so much

So it is only natural for me to hope

That I gave you something just as wonderful back

Forever I am grateful to have had you

In the brief reaches childhood allows
