First

Inspired by Sadje’s What do you see #166

as your excitement builds
i’m waiting to be chosen
gingerly examined
and thoroughly scrutinized

i wonder if you’ll be happy
to find the contents within
just as intriguing
as the surprise of discovering i’m yours

go on
open me
find my delights within
let me add joy to your life

i hope i remain your favorite
as more gifts are presented to you
with their packaging more tantalizing
and bows more glorious

will you pick me first
and always

        1. Oh, definitely a double meaning. If you look at the tags, it’s more about relationships. I wrote it so the words fit to the image but it was metaphorically for relationships. Wishing you the same, David! :)
