The Gift


There are many gifts that are flashy to the eyes
that will bring joy for the moment
only to age and remain in this land
so one could keep searching for a newer version
that comes and goes
receiving the emptiness it withholds 
Yet there is One that shall remain
to fulfill ones soul beyond what 
we can  imagine
For God gave the greatest gift
nothing can compare
To the Love shown
To send His Son as a sheep 
to be torn apart by the wolves
which is many people of this world
that are offended by the name Jesus
For Jesus knew that everyone would forsake
Him while in this world as a Man
Yet willingly laid down His life as the Gift
Of giving only wanting in return 
For One to believe to receive life
Loving us more than ourselves
for we do not know Love until knowing Jesus
To allow Him to hold your hand
giving one the only exit off the wide road
Receiving the Gift of the Holy Spirit
putting a deposit down
claiming one belongs to Him
to guide one down the narrow path
The Gift that gives us light to walk upon
to see clearly ahead 
In hope that we shall lead one to 
the greatest Gift
