God's Gift

My mother's gift of life
started me on my way
My father's gift of love
(although sometimes painful)
taught me to be strong 
My grandmother's gift of song
still rings in my head
My teacher's gift of knoledge
that help me to succeed
My pastor's gift of religion
that lights my path
My aunt's gift of self-reliance and confidance
that taught me be independent(and keeps the boys on their toes)
My uncle's gift of strength
That never lets me fall
My friend's gift on companionship
That always true and always there
But God's gifts.........
hope,faith,joy,happiness,love,and deliverance....EVERLASTING LIFE
Amen
