The Gift


           You are my beautiful gift from God
           Sparkling in your purity
           Breathing life's love inside
            Of me everyday


          I don't remember what it
          Was like without you
          How did I ever look at things
          Without the glow of your smile
           Shining on me
          
          I had been so very silent
          And sometimes forgetful
          Yet you rescued me
          With your unconditional  love
  
          You are the standard
          For how I define innocence
          Love, longing, peace
          Desire and hope

          Today I cherish your place
          In a world surrounded
          by the pain of lost vision
          Where others choose to hurt
           You choose to love
    
         You are the gift of life
          And the love you bring
           Sings in my heart everyday
          Like the cardinal's song of spring

          Tomorrow I will love you more
          And I will feel the warmth
          Of your essence
          In my soul
          For today
          I thank God for my wonderful gift
          You.................
