The Greatest Gift
Greatest gift is not found under a tree
And you can’t buy it in a store
It doesn’t come in the mail
Or gets wash up on the shore
It cannot be dig up like oil
Or does it fall from the rain
And you will never find it
On top of the highest mountain
The greatest gift can’t be value
Like diamond, silver and gold
And it can’t be crafted by hand
Because it comes with no mold
It’s not hidden in a dozen roses
And it can not been seen
It won’t fall from a plane above
It’s not red, yellow or green
You won’t find it in a speed train
Or in your favorite song
But it you look in your heart
You will see its been there all along
The greatest gift to give to someone
Is our time, attention and our concern?
To believe in them if they lose faith
Standing on the bridge of no return
From the kindness of our hearts
Comes Love, compassion honesty?
It’s the only gift that remains
Long after we inter the cemetery
Our pride, respects and dignity
Is the gift we will leave behind?
It will be the signature we sign
To withstand the test of all time
We have material possessions
Its makes our life’s comfortable
We work hard to have money
To enjoy a lifestyle that’s affordable
All of us have hopes and dreams
And our needs take first priority
Some to provide for their family
A home of comfort and stability
Every one sets their own table
And how much sugar they put in their tea
No one wants their boat to be rocking
In a world of uncertainty
Sometimes The future roads we travel
We will have to push and get shove
And the only comfort we carry in our heart
Is the one’s that w e truly love
And the one I love with all my heart
Being in life seems like an illusion
But I will not stop till it’s a reality
As long as their fishes in the ocean
I embrace the pain of missing her
And burn it as the fuel on my journey
And the day that I fall in he arms
That will be god’s greatest gift to me
