Today's post is a beautiful thought-provoking poem written by a very wonderful person who is a joy to know. When I first read it, it affected me in such a way that I knew I had to share it. It did not have a title, so I gave it a title. Enjoy!
The Gift of Life
Oh Father the gift of
life you gave
Looking out at the
majesty of nature that I crave
To understand the
mystery of it all before I go to my grave
Greed, violence you
never did intend
Prevails this gift of
beauty world end to end
Oh Father as my time is
running short
What can I do to
preserve what you did start
Forgive and love my child his answer came
And spread the word, how
you believe in my name
The mystery of the
universe brothers all are we
Love each other forgive
each other from sea to sea
The gift of life, the world
created could survive
If every man, woman
& child had enough to keep alive
So those of greed &
violence do take heed
You must take care of
those in need
So said the word of our
Creator
Our strength our love
divine
Give of yourself my
child we are all running out of time
M.E.P.
