Ok, this is a really short story, done at 4 in the morning while I couldn't sleep, again, and so if it sucks, I'M SORRY!!! Well, I guess that's all I gots to say for once, bye bye!!!
DISCLAIMER: I don't own the poem 'Especially For You' by Helen Lowrie Marshall or Trigun, cuz if I did, I'd be loved world wide... but I'm kool with being a loser!
p.s. This isn't supposed to sound as much like the Kingdom Hearts story 'Mourn for the Plain Sea' as it does, (by the way, you must ALL read that story! It's beautiful!!!)

Especially for You
"Rem? Rem! Look at the picture I made especially for you" said Vash, his long blonde hair swayign around him as he ran up to Rem, who was singing Sound Life again, "I worked for a long time on it, it took about 2 hours!" he said as he grinned at the thought of his artwork.
"I made it 'specially for you,"
He said and handed me,
The dubious daub of colors
He had made for me to see.
"Oh Vash! It's beautiful!" Rem said as she looked at it, silently running her eyes over the piece of paper with random colors all over it in no specific orders, trying to figure out what it was. "I'll cherish it forever" she said, hugging him as he smiled again, his little face lighting up.
A horse? A cat? A fish? A shoe?
Who quibbles with such art?
No matter what it was I knew
It came straight from his heart.
As Vash's eyes smiled more then his mouth, he hugged Rem back and pointed to a big red shape on the paper, "See Rem, it's a geranium, your favorite flower!" he said, looking at Rem for her reply, "I see that, and who's that?" The black haired woman asked, pointing to a smiling face, "It's Alex!" Vash said.
I told him it was beautiful-
I loved his big surprise!
And a million dollars couldn't buy
That pleased look in his eyes.
As Rem smiled and nodded, a tear rolled down her cheek. "Rem? What's wrong?" Vash asked worriedly. "It's nothing, I just feel so sad remembering him, but yet, that fact that you cared enough to put him in here makes me happier then you know little boy!" Rem replied, ruffling his hair as he laughed and nodded, getting up to chase a butterfly.
"Especially for you"- three words
Such potent magic hold,
They turn the smallest gift on earth
To one of purest gold.
As Rem watched the silver tear fall into the grass, she looked up as Vash chased the butterfly, and smiled as he did, and got up to help him catch it, then watch as he set it free again.
