You gave me something special.
It was something just for me.
I keep it safely locked away.
I have the only key.
But when I’m feeling miserable,
and dark clouds are all I see,
I carefully unlock your gift,
and hold it close to me.
It wraps around me warmly
and it cheers me for a while.
What was it that you gave to me?
It was your lovely smile.
