Gifts


by Cat Sellers

a gift was given to your head
it was the gift of thoughts
a gift was given to your eyes
it was the gift of a smile
a gift was given to your ears
it was the gift to listen
a gift was given to your mouth
it was the gift of laughter
a gift was given to your voice
it was the gift of a song
a gift was given to you hands
it was the gift to caress and play
a gift was given to your feet
it was the gift to run and dance
a gift was given beneath your skin
it was the gift to feel
a gift was given to your heart
it was the gift to see and love
don’t take your gifts for granted
for granted they are gifts no more
turned into commodities
they will rotten at the core
gift equals
present
so cherish it
now
"-cherish: 1.care for it tenderly 2.keep alive in one's heart"
says the Advance Learners Dictionary of Current English.
gifts came from giving
so pass them on
gifts are unexpected
powers
wrapped up
in magic
