The Gift That Keeps on Giving
Life’s a gift that keeps on giving
Consists of many galaxies
Rays of sun shine over waters
Give light to life forms in the sea
A universe with endless talent
Taken for granted gray skies & rain
An effortlessly flawless land
Hidden in the shadows of tragedy & pain
Discouraged by the obstacles
Effecting plans in place
Humanity’s competition driven
To win a one sided race
We each carry so much heartache
For all of us, I pray
We leave misery in its company
To allow the better things their day
Learn to speak to those in passing
Give thanks for each delay
Travel the world that’s been loaned to you
And love on every stray
Each breath’s an opportunity
To thrive while we’re living
Future generations wealth
Built on the gift that keeps on giving
