One day when God felt generous

He looked down at me and smiled

"Since I feel so magnanimous, I'd like to give you something, child."

He asked me what I wanted

I said, "Oh, really nothing more, You've done so much already."

He said, "That's what God is for."

"You have been pretty good," He said,

I know there's not much that you seek,

I will pick a little something, just to make your life complete."

With great anticipation, I looked forward to my gift

I wondered what God had in mind, that would give me such a lift.

"This gift," God said, "You realize, bears some responsibility

So, if you accept my present, you must be willing to agree...

"To offer unconditionally, a section or a part,

Of more than half of you, the larger portion of your heart."

"Okay, God," I answered, "Since in You, I always trust,

I'll meet your obligation, in the manner that I must."

To myself, I thought, wow, what a gift, for so much of me, God's asked

Now what could be so valuable, that my share was more than half?

With both hands I sought my gift

I still did not have a clue

Then God put your hand in mine, and said His gift to me was YOU! (Ann)

I dedicate this poem to Mayuka!(37150) She is my usm sister and has been such a blessing to get to know. She always has something kind to say about another and is always in cheerful spirit. I wanted to tell you how much I appreicate our new friendship and hope that it continues to grow! *hugs* Lylas!
