*A Present *




I gave you my all,
Wrapped up nicely with a ribbon,
"Be careful." said I,
"It's delicate, don't drop it,"
Holding your hand close to my chest,
"Please take care of it,"
"It breaks easily."

    This is absolutely delightful. Insightful, cute, and just all around sweet. Excellent job, mum.
    Much Love,

    Thanks, i put in the quotation marks in because am a bit of perfectionist wit spelling grammar etc (at least in my work lol and the last two lines are separatle because i wanted them to be two different sentences, with a pause in the middle, rather than a continuated line! thanks for the comment

    And without a doubt, the best present the intended reader will recieve! I woul dliketo see it without the quotation marks, but that's just me. I think you could still distinguish with punctuation like so:
    I gave you my all,
    Wrapped up nicely with a ribbon.
    Be careful, said I,
    It's delicate, don't drop it.
    Holding your hand close to my chest,
    Please take care of it,
    It breaks easily.
    I just find the "s distracting in such a short piece, if you do want to leave them the last lines don't need to be enclose seperately, just like this.

    "Please take care of it,
    It breaks easily."
    A lovely sentiment, and indeed the best gift.

    This was very sweet. It is the best thing you could ever give. But the most dangerous gift of all. Keep up the good work!
