The Gift
The gifts you are given
In this world today
Mean so much more
Than they did yesterday
Life is much harder
And can cause so much pain
The choices you make
Mean you lose or you gain
And all you did choose
These past three years
Were not good for you
And only brought tears
Of what life would be
When all’s said and done
Will you win or lose?
And left with no one
Life all alone
Is not where you should be
Surrounded by love
Is all you should see
But love is earned
As is trust, you see
I can’t give it away
It’s a gift from me
