small gifts

small gifts
are often
better
than large
ones,
so are soft
kisses and
a gentle
hug. the
whisper is
heard easier
than the
shout, the
wry smile
more touching
than a laugh.
a simple
loving word,
not a book,
written to
be held
forever
on a small
piece of paper
you can fold,
is better than
keeping love
within,
untold.
