Treasured Heart

Its not quiet as pretty as the other presents under the tree
Not as big, brightly wrapped or neatly marked
It doesn't stand out like the rest
But this gift is special
and makes up for lack of creative packaging
This gift has been waiting to be opened
Anticipating its unveiling since it's arrival
All the gifts have been unwrapped
except for this one
He picks it up and turns it with care
searching for a sign of the recipient
"For You" is all that he finds
Puzzled, but curious, he begins to unwrap the small gift
A heart is inside, with depth like the ocean
He takes it in his hands and feels the pulse
"You've found it; my most precious gift
It is yours to keep, deal with it wisely
A treasure so rare won't be found easily twice."
