GIFTS

You give us gifts abundant
some to us yet unknown,
only with times passing
their beauty comes full blown.

The blessings of our families
Your gifts of moms and dads,
of our brothers and our sisters
that make our hearts so glad.

The friends You bring into our lives
who help to make us grow,
in love and in compassion
they’re a joy for us to know.

There are so many others
too numerous to count,
for Your goodness is eternal
love and mercy’s deepest fount.

There’s another I could mention
that till now I could not see,
Your very extra special one
it is Your gift of me.
