A Gift In Time

If you are looking for the perfect gift for me to see, 
The one beyond compare for me,
The one with no price tag for me to see,
Yet the price you pay for it will call out to me,
The moment I open my eyes and see, 
Just how much you care for me.

When you give me time to comply with your requests of me,
It is a gift you see,
And when you give me even more time to clarify what you have asked of me,
That is another gift I see.

If you give me time to wake up ,
Or even time to shut up,
The price of your gift to me, 
Goes up you see.

Time to get there and back,
And time to wear black,
It becomes ever clearer for me to see,
How much you care for me.

Time to prepare,
And time to be aware,
Does even more for me, 
Something I am sure even you can see

But when you give me time to put things right,
Your gift to me shines bright,
Enough even for others to see,
How much you care for me.

Time to eat,
And time off my feet,
Puts the icing on the cake for me,
Don't you see.

A final gift of time to think,
But not too much time to drink,
Would be the one to let me truly see,
Just how much you care for me.
