God`s Gift

I have walked through fields of flowers

and climbed the mountains high

watched the clouds of snowy white

as they float up in the sky

I have watched the golden sunsets

and have seen the rainbows hue

listened to the oceans roar

and dreamed of dreams come true

I have listened to the birds

as they fly amid the trees

watched the eagles as they soar

so graceful in the breeze

With so much beauty all around

I`m in awe of natures story

as I think of all the things I`ve seen

what else can match this glory

Gaze within a mothers eyes

as she cradles a newborn child

see the love upon her face

as she sings a lullaby so mild

How can we see all these things

and not be filled with love

we should get down on bended knees

and thank the Lord above

He provided all these things

for his children here on earth

let us show him how we feel

and praise him for his worth

He gave us his most precious gift

his one and only Son

and created all this world for us

the earth, the moon, the sun

So as we say our prayers

each and every night

let all of us make a vow

to live a life that`s right
