You were presented
To me as
A large present
Beautifully wrapped and
Tied with a
Tidy satin bow
Admire it I
Did before settling
Out to discover
What lies within
Oh another present
As lovely as
Its parent digging
Inside another and
Inside another and
Inside of that
Yet another still
And finally at
Last finally after
What seems like
Months of presents
I’m at last
Presented with my
Gift a photograph
Of our kiss
On the Seine
That one small
Thing that started
As something grand
And became finally
The most treasured
Most remembered most
Important of all
