Analysis of A Gift
If I could send a gift,
To you I would send a kiss,
For you see my love,
This we both miss,
Perhaps a gentle hug,
When you need it most,
I could send that very hug,
Clear across the coast,
Perhaps a sweet hello,
To say I so love you,
To always reassure,
My love for you is true,
If I could send a gift,
Wrapped in pure gold
Within that very gift,
My heart you then would hold.
