One day when God felt generous,
He looked down at me and smiled,
“Since I feel so magnanimous,
I’d like to give you something, child.”
He asked me what I wanted,
I said, “Oh, really nothing more,
You’ve done so much already.”
He said, “That’s what God is for.”
“You have been pretty good,” He said,
I know there’s not much that you seek,
I will pick a little something,
Just to make your life complete.”
With great anticipation,
I looked forward to my gift,
I wondered what God had in mind,
That would give me such a lift.
“This gift,” God said, “You realize,
Bears some responsibility,
So, if you accept my present,
You must be willing to agree…
“To offer unconditionally,
A section or a part,
Of more than half of you,
The larger portion of your heart.”
“Okay, God,” I answered,
“Since in You, I always trust,
I’ll meet your obligation,
In the manner that I must.”
To myself, I thought, wow, what a gift,
For so much of me, God’s asked,
Now what could be so valuable,
That my share was more than half?
With both hands I sought my gift,
I still did not have a clue,
Then God put your hand in mine,
And said His gift to me was
YOU!

God blessed me with a good family and then he gave me my husband Bill and me to Bill. Then we had three wonderful children… My husband Bill has gone to Heaven but the memories remain forever…Thank you almighty GOD for blessing all of us… Thank you…

I have always said to my mother “she is my gift from God”. I can ask for any more than that. Although I do ask at times but most of what I do ask for is for her and my children and family. He already knows the rest. God Bless this site and the people that read the poems. Thank you!

What beautiful words and thoughts. I love this poem especially because I needed to read something like this today. Having a really bad day in so many ways, but mostly with pain throughout my body, and being alone. But God is with me, so I guess I’m not really alone, just suffering in silence. Thank you for writing this, maybe God inspired you to write this for someone like me.

GOD;S GREATEST GIFTS ARE THE CHILDREN.I HAVE ALL MY LIFE..JUST WITH HIM AND KIDS.THE WAY I TALK TO GOD AND THE WAY I TREAT KIDS..THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS I AM A HUMNA..ABONDEND BY MAFIAS AND LAW CREATED NASTY GODS OF MY CENTUARY.SO PEOPLE SHALL TAKE LESSON WHILE WITH DOUBLE STANDARD GAMES THE CARDS WHAT THEY WANT TO THROW OUT OF THIS WORLD..STILL IN A GAME.AS KIDS ARE CREATED BY LORD ,NOT BY MAN MADE GARBAGE.SOME HOW WHEN I HURT THEIR FEELINGS I ALWAYS FELT AND FEEL THAT I HAVE HURTED AND INSULTED MY LORD…THIS IS THE REASON MY HEART IS A UNIQELY PURE THAN ANY OTHER PERSON.WELL IT WILL BE HARD FOR SOME JEALOUS PEOPLE.TAKE IT EASY.AS I DO NOT GET PAID TO WRITE THIS..MY WORDS ARE FROM MY HEART ONLY,,NOT GIVEN BY ATTORNEY OR SHERRIF OR A JUDGE EVEN.AS I DO NOT GET BRIBE ,NIETHER I GIVE TO ANY ONE.NOT TO GAOD EVEN..AS SOME PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET THEY D0 THIS TOO.

My God has found it befitting to offer you to me as gift. A gift that is so precious and bedazzling, one that is also gentle to touch and lovingly caress so as not to break. I thank God everyday for the gift of you and the opportunity to share in this blessed offer. God has given me another chance to make thing correct and proper and therefore saw to it that I was worthy of such gift. Cheryl, you are to be cherished, loved and be respected in ways only you deserve. I thank God for you and the gift that He has offered.

sometimes I have to walk in front of you,knowing that you might not follow me.But you will be able to see me and know how I am.And without looking at you I can feel you that how you are.I have to walk behind you,I know that you may be not lead,but I wanted to know how you are doing is everything is fine with you.Your are fine,and how is your life going.But cannot walk beside you,because both of us know why.But you know I want to walk with you and be your friend.
