The Greatest Gift
The Greatest Gift
For Amir....5/18/00
I received a gift from The Lord above.
A gift that I would treasure, a gift that I would love
.
It was one of the greatest gifts I have ever known,
it enlightened my heart, and chilled me to the bone.
Lord, I thank you for this child you sent,
he keeps me on my knees and makes me repent.
Sometimes so sweet, so loving so true,
that I know that he, was a gift from you!
But there are those times,
when his ways I don't comprehend ...
Serious attitude, unwilling to bend.
Talking out of turn, or a bit too much,
seems so unfeeling, so devoid of touch.
Inspite of this, I try to understand,
as he changes from a boy,
and prepares to become a man.
I ask that you watch over him,
wherever he may be,
for he was the greatest gift , you ever gave to me!
