My life
(and yours),
Is built on
Gifts.
The gift
Of love,
Of tender care,
Of cherished looks,
Of rebukes
And
Affirmations.
My life
(yours too)
Is strengthened by
The gift
Of pain,
Of narrow paths,
Of hard choices
And
Life-changing decisions.
My life
(yours too, maybe)
Is steadied by
The gift
Of jealousies
Of betrayals
And
Abandonments.
My life
(yours too, I hope)
Is surrounded by
The gift of
Home,
Of precious ones
Who hold
Embrace
Even sit besides
With no agenda.
My life
(And yours)
Is sustained by
Rooted love
Endless grace
Present Presence
Of our
Creator God.
For all of these
And more,
My heart
(with yours)
Says
Thank you Lord.
This is my 50th poem/post. Today I celebrate (with you, my readers) the gift of writing.
