The Gift That I Give You
Enjoy your gifts, be grateful, share them
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The gifts of nature given by God
How much do we sit and enjoy?
We only plunder and destroy
The gift of unconditional love showered by parents
How much do we value it?
Do we give them the respect and care they deserve?
The gift of life, many precious seconds
How much do we value them?
Do we use each moment productively, prudently?
The gift of love, compassion given by God
Bestowing us with bountiful joy and bliss
How much do we practice, share?
The gift of breath, the joy of being alive
How much do we feel grateful?
Full of elation every moment
The gift of salvation, unending bliss
A gift freely available to all
We don't even try for it
The gift of this body, a vehicle of soul
is for our up keeping not a product of display
This gift is often taken for granted
Gift of senses, for our enjoyment
We let them rule us
We sin
We only think and talk about our achievements
Trying to prove we are better
Ego has no end
We always think and serve selfish humans
Never bothering to think of God
whose gifts are boundless
Give the gift of unconditional love
Share all you have with the less fortunate
More you give, more your coffers fill
Make a list of all gifts that you have, treasure them
Be glad you have so many gifts
Let joyous bliss fill your being
Be good, do good, spread goodness
Let life be a saga of service
Be Godly, emulate him
