Courage of the Spirit  


Precious Gift
You gave me the most precious gift of
all.....................life!
Each moment we take steps
and strive.
With open arms and heart we embrace.
Even when through life we race.

Searching everywhere to understand
who I am
A symbol you gave me that says
it all.
A spirit so free and full of life
is who I am
Just know that i will never fall.

I have pushed and asked the questions
why?
At times you didn't answer
why did you hide?

Life has been so hard and fear
I have felt.
A few simple words from you
and the fear does melt.

Thank you for the most precious gift
of all
Along with the symbol which
helps me stand tall.

Attribute to you now is the
love within my heart.
Just know we are never
far apart.
