Gift of life

by fayfaith

They didn't come in a package

I wasnt given a choice

They welcomed my with open arms

They brought me into this world with pure hearts

The breath of life could be the gift of life

But it didnt work that way for me

My family 

I can not live without them

We cry together 

Pray together

Laugh together

We help to build one another 

I swear i wouldn't ask for no other

Those that have passed

Those yet to be born

I carry their greatness in my heart 

They are my gift of life.
