The Gift by Glena M. Waterhouse


I have a present for you

It doesn't need silver wrappings

     Or pink and blue bows.

This is a gift beyond all gifts,

     And if you accept,

I'll know that you too, love me, as I do you.

I hope you'll keep it for a lifetime,

     And I pray you'll always be mine.

The gift is...

..........The gift of Love.

I was raised as an "Army Brat," having lived all over the world and the USA. Although I quit high school twice, my dream was always to teach. I received my high school diploma in 1980 and began my journey to Masters Degree in Education in 1993. I graduated Cuma Sum Laude from Hussion College in 1997 and received my MBA and MBE in 2000 from the University of Southern New Hampshire. I taught college for fifteen years and now teach at a private Christian school in Buxton, ME.
