The Gift of Love

I was given the gift of love one day by the dear Lord who walked my way,one moment in time and with a touch of his had i did receive his gift of love so grand, and within a wink of an eye i was raised from the gutter to the sky, from a pauper to a king only now my heart could sing, and now i did seek to try and find the true value of this gift devine, and with all my searching and wisdom i do have to say that his gift of love had no value at all untill i gave it away.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
