The Gift

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.................

Thank you for this KK
