A gift to bring you

You have 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.

Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi
