My Only Gem
I humbly give you my most precious gift
As I have no diamonds, nor rubies red
A simple truth, my love will never drift
As I have known love's lies, my heart has bled
I offer you, my love, with all its scars
To keep and cherish like a treasured gem
And to hold in awe like a flaming star
To judge it fairly before you condemn
The worth of my love, only you can say
To accept and welcome with your desire
And to treat it well through every day
My love will not lie nor will it conspire
So, here is my love and without demand
The only gem I have placed in your hand
