Best Gift From God Poems
I am a wish, a prayer, from mortals lips
That reached heaven and touched God’s fingertips
And returned to earth wrapped in flesh and blood
A gift from God’s unconditional love
So love and cherish me as God does you
And guide and teach me well in all I do
And together, a garden we will grow
Filled with the fragrant beauty of the rose
And on the day I reach maturity
And feel the need like leaves to leave the tree
To show the world the colors that are me
Rejoice in all the beauty that you see
For I am your child the gift that God gave
No More than a wish and a prayer - away.
We were best friends,
and I was so proud.
She was my mother,
and I was her child.
Then fateful words were spoken aloud,
diagnosis with dire consequences.
Changes came day by day,
remembrances lost, with pretend defenses.
Simple tasks became great chores,
challenges were impossibilities.
Alzheimer’s had captured her life,
and I... unprepared for probabilities.
Always searching for home,
caused her to wander and roam.
Fences, gates and locked doors,
for her protection we had to condone.
I was with her every day.
I wish she had been there, too.
We walked in her garden.
The question came, “Now, who are you?"
God needed her in heaven, but in his
great wisdom knew I needed a while.
He graciously conceded and gave compromise.
He took her spirit, and gave me a special child.
I gave her baths.
I combed her hair,
I clothed, fed, and put her to bed;
God and I sitting till morning air.
That fateful day sadly arrived,
filled with such pain and sorrow.
Goodbye my friend, my mother... my special child.
I’ll see you again tomorrow!
Sweet memories I’ve treasured since that day,
thank you for time to sort them in place.
I am now more endeared to those times long ago
when I was a child and she washed my face.

True Friendship is a gift from God
Among the many gifts I have received
Friendship is the best one I perceive
True friends don’t just come in passing
You've got to be one too, to make that happen.
In the world, treasures abound in plenty
What good are they, for in love and care, they seem empty?
When you are down and need an uplifting word
Not to treasures but to friends you look toward.
Sharing deep secrets and feelings which hurt
The merging of the two brings relief and comfort
In their presence you find cosiness and joy
‘Cause that is a communion true friends enjoy!
In life’s busy paths many folk come your way
Though finding new friends seems like a breath of fresh air
Do not forget the old faithful for the new
God sent them to lend you their ear and shoulder too.

The clouds weave in and out of the Sky's embrace,
Blanketing the sun yet exposing its glorious power.
Nature dances and sings like a magnificent talented orchestra,
Showing its beauty through the seasons of
The winters rain, the summers warmth, the springs new beginning
And the autums downpour of leaves - ready to blossom again
Like a newborn baby, each day arises and the sun is reborn,
Accepting all those who embrace its glory and gift of life
As to does the moon provide a light in the darkened skies
To make a path through the midnight blackness,
Blending in with it stars like fireflies.
This world, this beauty of nature and life is a gift from God
For those he has created to love and embrace it

Nature
Great gift from God
Trees are nice, important
They give us shade, fruits to eat too
And more.
And more
Many nice things
Trees give us paper and
Houses to live in and nice books
To read.
To read
Learn everything
Nature is beautiful
All the flowers and plants grow too
In spring.
In spring
See deer and frogs
Around forests and ponds
Butterflies dance, bees get honey
All day.
All day
And night a gift
From God, summer, winter
Spring and fall, beautiful nature
All time.

( CHILDREN ARE A GIFT FROM GOD )
God sent me three packages
That needed special care
"Take care of these tiny gifts
For they are very rare."
"Watch over them with all your love
And let them feel your touch
Take care of their every need
For you are needed very much."
"These gifts will grow up very fast
As you soon will see
Love them with all your heart
And let them be what they will be."
"When these gifts have fully grown
Look at Heaven up above
Know they exist because of God
And all his precious love."

I'm a special gift from God
He made me long ago
And put in me His spirit
Telling me what I need to know
The eyes that He gave me
Makes me able to see
All His wonderful creation
And the way He wanted it to be
From the ears that I have
I am able to hear
The sound from the things
He made far and near
Oh yes my precious hands
Within them I can touch
And feel those wonderful things
Too me that mean so much
Now the nose He bless me with
I can surely smell
Many, many fragrances
With an aroma that's so well
Finally there's my mouth
With a taste that touches my heart
And sense this Black History Day
I'm a special gift from God.

A child is a
gift from God
They foster love,
compassion and empathy
Bring more joy
than can be put into words
Teach how not
to be selfish
How to think
of others first
Are a precious
beautiful miracle
Elevate your mood
to highest heights
Are a Blessing
that provides you
With wealth that
is incalculable
There's no way
to put a value
On what they give you
