The Gift To God, I Gave To Give -

To myself to I, to God I asked what nature of sample shall I give, the tribute must be something, already possessed and not a thing to be acquired or easily accessed, what type of treasure, what placid pleasure, what measure of scintillating success should be expressed, many feelings, dealings, winnings and blessings I have like the menificent merchant of an ageless & melancholy market, however I am disinterested in the buying & selling of impressive items, something of my core should be present, priceless, respirative, multitudes give Deity thick thanks in pompous prayers or grim graveling of worship, others offer animal immolation or coin from shallow pocket, as does everyone I experience the panic of pain, that terrible teacher of no remorse whose curriculum makes carion of cowards, but as a student of Life and thus a pupil of pain I realised that my mind can be a calm cistern, my heart a coffer of adversity's copious rewards, the determination is made, my proudest possession, enlightenment derived from pain, enchanting and admonishing like the howls of hungry beasts, a gift of character, a jewel of dreams manifest, God accepted and said, " Someone, somewhere, somehow is suffering to better feats" - J.A.B.
