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
