Poems to Gift Your Lover
Every day we give each other little gifts whether it be the smile we offer the stranger on the street, or the small bids for conversation we open up to each other moment by moment. A comment about the beauty of the sky, asking about each other's day, or even just giving the person you love space when they need it can all be small gifts we offer the ones we l0ve on a daily basis.
