A Gift by M. Griswold 05032020 A gift for you I wish to make. From a heart held in pressing ache. This gift is free no strings to hold. It's wrappings are truths to unfold. A gift for you to make you free. Of joy and freedom that could be. To help you learn of wisdom to grow. And open your eyes so you may know. A gift for you that lifts when you fall. Of a love so complete it sacrifices all. This gift I give is of a truth I was told. About a friend who lived in days of old. A gift given to those who are all fully lost. Of a life offered for you at the ultimate cost. For our sins this man has taken for us all. So you may walk and live in Kingdom's Hall.

these 4 verses have so much to tell between them. I sense pain but also an honorable purpose.

solitude is dangerous at first we fear it, then we get accustomed to it after a while we crave it. awesome write

"A gift given to those who are all fully lost. Of a life offered for you at the ultimate cost." love this poem Mitchell, being a giver in a world of takers sometimes doesn't come easy.
