The Greatest Gift

If I could choose one gift
from God’s basket filled to spare,
I’d have to think about it…
maybe even offer a prayer.

I’d pray for wisdom to choose the greatest,
of all the gifts He has supplied.
Then, I’d choose the gift of LOVE,
the one gift, that forever will abide.

Other gifts have failed to pass,
the test of the ages long past.
But, LOVE will never fail.
It will last, and last, and last.
