If I had a garden of flowers,
They would not be bursting with color
All because I put my time
Into growing them.

If I had a museum of art
The master pieces would not be meaningful
All because I put my thought
Into creating them.

If I had a twenty page love letter
The words would not hold any value
All because I put my emotions
Into writing them.

It wouldn't matter
If the flowers were your favorite
Or if the paintings were all of you
If the twenty page letter
Held every single emotion I've ever felt for you.

They'd be something you've seen before.

But if another
Grew a garden of flowers
Painted the pictures
And wrote you that letter.

They would be
The most wonderful things in the world.
