The Greatest Gift

The Greatest Gift- Can you see me standing On the edge of my beauty? But yet I’m lost along the way.... I’m a million phasing wavelengths Of light and sound Coursing through your veins. I am the movement of the universe In the space between a breath. I’m just a brushstroke of earth and sky The soil that holds The impression of your steps.. Can you feel me flowing like a river? As your time here rushes the same? You can fill me up, But I can be empty still.. But I never change my name. I’m the reason for your laughter. And why your laughter turns to cries.. Don’t You see me all around? I’m right before your eyes! I was here before You came to me. And I’ll be here when you leave. A priceless treasure you can’t save up.. But upon me you build your dreams. Do you know me when you have me? Can you save me if Your Strong? Will You want me if I’m not perfect? And when I end up being wrong? Can You share me with another? Or will you use me to just cause strife? Do You realize what I am to You? I’m a gift God has given You.. I’m Your Life.
