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 you my heart and soul because you already have these.
So - I've brought you a mirror.
Look at yourself and remember me.
--Jalaluddin Rumi

What a beautiful poem! I believe poetry is a great way to not only express emotional intelligence but also develop it, especially in children.
