GOD’S PERFECT GIFTS

What rare gift would I give you?
The kind God alone can give
Providing you with all you need
For each and every day you live!

I’d wrap up FAITH to guide you
Lots of HOPE to inspire you
COURAGE to face life’s challenges ahead,
Tuck in Heavenly music 
For PEACE of soul, heart and mind
God’s glorious gifts of the everlasting kind! 

What personal gift would I give you?
A fragile cup filled to the rim
With sweetest FRIENDSHIP and LOVE
Packed in billowy clouds of Purple
Firmly laced ties of earthy Green
Delightfully given just to make your heart sing!

What precious gift would I give you?
A prayer your life would be gently caressed
With huge servings of God’s absolute best! 
Every minute, every hour of this important day
May strength of body and wisdom of soul
Bring you Birthday JOYS and BLESSINGS untold!
