You’ve no idea how hard I’ve looked for a gift to bring You

You’ve no idea how hard

I’ve looked for a gift to bring You.

Nothing seemed right!

What’s the point of bringing gold

to the gold mine,
or water to the ocean?
Everything I came up with

was like taking spices to the orient.

It’s no good giving
my heart and my soul,

because You already have these.

So – I’ve brought You a mirror
Look at YourSelf and remember me.

- Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi
