GIFTS


Do you see the morning sun rise
As the day is put into place
The sky turning blue
With your eyes lighting the way

You touch all around you with love
Never thinking of yourself
Not knowing who you help
Or how they feel for you

When the darkness surrounds your mind
The clouds seem too thick
You guide others into the future
Take a warm hand in yours

Look at the world with wonder
The gifts that it gives are for all to share
Smile at every new beginning
Now is the time to live
