My Gift

God sent me to earth with a valuable gift
The ability to dream and to give folks' spirits a lift
Many people have had a go at me

And try though they might

The Lord did not allow this intrinsic gift

To be removed from my embattled sight.

So

If I helped you once or many times, down through the years

Perhaps by making you laugh or by wiping your tears

It was my appointed duty to do so

And it is with joy that I see that you are remaining steady as you go.

If

If you have been and are one of the angels sent

To cross my path or stay a while to keep me

Focused and shored up regarding my life's intent

To you, I say, "Bless you and thank you and I

Make mention of you often in my talks with the God of eternity.

When

Each time that you run across me

The  continuous working on my dreams of motivating humanity

Is what you will see

As I look to the hills toward my destiny.

"The dream you gave me, Lord, I tried to keep," is what I  say to my Lord, ere I go to sleep.
