The Best Gift



The best gift in my life I have ever received,
It's so special and precious it's hard to believe,
It's something you can't play with, for it's not a toy,
But something you keep forever through life to enjoy,
For, if you use it right, you'll feel safe and secure,
Use it wrong, pain and loss are what you'll endure,
CUZ many people live and die not feeling its true power,
They give up on finding it within the first hour,
But just looking into the heart they will find the direction,
To the key, to fixing all the mistakes and corrections,
CUZ with it there's nothing else you should need,
And living by it will help all your plans succeed,
For it's with you always never leaving you apart,
It lives deep within your own heart,
And it is first shown from our GOD above,
The best gift is the wonderful feeling called Love.
