You Are The Gift

You Are The Gift

You are the gift you give to others-

fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers,

family and friends, lovers and strangers all.

From the moment of your birth

on this beautiful, holy planet Earth,

you are the precious gift you bring.

Your gift may be ignored, abused,

hated, despised and cursed by any

or lovingly embraced, celebrated,

welcomed, adored and blessed by many.

Yet your true worth has no less value

despite what you or others see

when looking at Life’s wondrous gifts.

You are Life’s miracle and treasured wealth,

the gift of God as Life Itself.
