The Gift

“When I’m in heaven boy,
To you I’ll send a gift.
A gift not wrapped in shiny,
Colored paper,
Nor tied up with a bow.
But it is a gift of greatest worth.
It is the gift of Faith,
And to you I’ll send it soon.
With Faith all things are possible,
Like a key your Faith will be,
Unlocking a thousand possibilities.
And will you cherish this gift,
For which I sacrifice myself?”
“Oh yes” did I reply.
And so he passed away,
I grieved and wept at my loss,
But yet I knew, for I had Faith,
That he and all those who I had lost,
Were in a better place.
