The Greatest Gift

The Greatest Gift For Amir....5/18/00 I received a gift from The Lord above. A gift that I would treasure, a gift that I would love . It was one of the greatest gifts I have ever known, it enlightened my heart, and chilled me to the bone. Lord, I thank you for this child you sent, he keeps me on my knees and makes me repent. Sometimes so sweet, so loving so true, that I know that he, was a gift from you! But there are those times, when his ways I don't comprehend ... Serious attitude, unwilling to bend. Talking out of turn, or a bit too much, seems so unfeeling, so devoid of touch. Inspite of this, I try to understand, as he changes from a boy, and prepares to become a man. I ask that you watch over him, wherever he may be, for he was the greatest gift , you ever gave to me!
