We would like to share another poem by a dear old friend:
THE TRUE GIFT
A true gift is like a lift,
It helps move people so swift,
With ease and time so brief.
Everyone is blessed with gifts,
Which are powerful, if only we believe
The wonders they can help achieve -
Changes that create a positive shift
In the lives of others to bring relief.
A gift is not a true gift
If we do not use it to give:
Love, that lightens those in grief,
An apology that mends a rift,
Forgiveness that bring reprieve,
A sound advice to the naive-
So as not to be deceived,
Help, that rid a painful heave.
Mother Teresa is a true gift;
She gives her all for others to live
With love and care for those lives adrift.
A true gift is not the wealth we achieve,
It is not the good we perceive,
It is the part of us that we give
So others can blessedly receive –
Making this world a better place to live.
