My Gift From On High

My gift from on high


God only knows where you came from, your shining silhouette follows you,
I have been so blessed- I'll never take for granted, my gift from on high

Midnight Aurora January 9, 2020 at 4:18 PM Wow this is very sweet. I find these short forms difficult but you have really summed it up well here. Beautiful! Happy New Year to you and your precious gift :) John Hamilton January 9, 2020 at 5:20 PM Thanks MA, I too have difficulty with short writes, but somehow this one came easy. My muse is on standby so I'm trying to prod it along by writing these short ones. Hopefully I'll come up with a longer one soon!
