The gift that I am given
What do I do with it?
Do I use it or do I abuse it?
The gift that I am given
How do I handle it?
With great care or frivolous flair?
The gift that I am given
Who will use it?
Do I share it or selfishly keep it?
The gift that I am given
How do I use it?
Do I use it to assist all others,
Or just my friends, family and brothers?
The gift that I am given
How valuable is it?
Is its value difficult to assess,
Or is it priceless?
The gift that I am given
How do I use it?
Can I develop it or just give up on it?
The gift that I have received
Comes without conditions but is full of traditions.
The gift that I have received
Comes from a dear friend,
That at times I find difficult to comprehend.
The gift that I have received
Comes from a time far away,
But for some just came today.
The gift that I have received
Comes from a heart of great love
And comes from above.
The gift that I have received
Comes from my Creator,
Saviour and Redeemer.
The gift that I have received
Is my life.
Thank you Lord God
For your gift of life.
