Gifts

Before I was,
You gave me life.
When I was born,
You gave me a family
To love me, teach me
And watch me grow.
When the task ahead
Seemed far too daunting,
You reminded me
To take one step at a time.
When I was stubborn,
You gave me your patience.
When I was ignorant,
You gave me knowledge.
When I made mistakes,
You gave me forgiveness.
When I was alone,
You walked beside me.
When I was lost,
You sent me a friend
To help me find my way.
When I forgot my dreams,
You gently reminded me.
When I was sad,
You helped me find joy.
When I was in pain,
You gave me comfort.
When life was good,
You gave me a smile.
For when I lacked inspiration,
You gave me the trees,
The mountains and the wild places.
For when life got too much,
You gave me the gift of prayer.
And just when
I was about to give up,
You gave me faith.

Lovely poem Cheeky - I really like this kind of succinct structure... I think this epitomises what faith should be about. Great stuff! smile
