Love so overwhelming poured out from the skies, A precious gift unending the road to Paradise. Shining light rekindle reflections in the heart, A precious gift embracing a guide within the dark. An overflowing spirit of calm serenity, A precious gift fulfilling a peaceful destiny. Delight in joyful gladness replenishing the soul, A precious gift that measures a heart that is made whole. A feature so redeeming goodness shown in kind, A precious gift of virtue a beauty so defined. The hardships of endurance we learn to persevere, A precious gift that strengthens our patience every year. Truth reflecting knowledge seek to understand, A precious gift of wisdom outstretched in His hand. A temperance definitive the disciplining strength, A precious gift rewarding so many benefits. Faithful hearts devoted to humble pliancy, A precious gift reflecting the One who walks with me. A canvas painted lovingly within His hands He traced The precious gift of Calvary, His everlasting grace. © Christina 21st March, 2005
