~ My Gift I Share ~

My gift I freely share with you,
for I can finally see it through.
Obstacles before had me blind
to the joy in life that I could find.

I share with you this wondrous gift
of using words to give a lift.
To sagging spirits and down beaten souls
may the Lord above make you whole.



This gift is mine to share with you,
and from this day forward
that's what I'm going to do..
My Lord, I solemnly henceforth pledge..
to share the world with my pens' edge.

For you have given this gift to me.
To open their eyes that they may see,
your world as I do...full and free.
Lord, I give it back to thee!
