The Gift - George Andrews

Gift, is a word that brings pleasure to one’s ear
Only because that’s all you can hear

It’s not a present; it’s not a reward,
It’s something that is given, by the Lord

The gift is a subject that one should share
By who is worthy, to be willing to care

The gift is a subject, you can use all the time
To help people, through the path in life

To some the gift is only a flame
To wealth, greed and personal gain

The gift is a wealth that never ends
It just gets stronger the more you spend

So try to help the most, from your heart
The gift will stay with you, until you part
