I pondered long upon a gift
That your heart would surely love,
To bless you now with all you need
With warmth, more than enough.
I searched the malls, the catalogues
But, nothing there I found,
To fill all your tomorrows
With blessings that abound.
I wanted light for you
Aglow all through the night,
So, I turned my sight above
Where there is more on high.
For I knew the gift of life
That would lift you through a day,
Would be of soul alone,
To take your breath away.
And so, I whispered, Jesus
Please grant my friend Your PEACE,
May a trusting faith in You
Bring strength to never cease.
Fill them with abundant JOY
Overflowing full and free,
To burst aloud with joyous song
Each day, continually.
May HOPE, then top Your gift
Expectancy, surpise,
A lightness in the spirit,
Life behind their eyes.
Oh, please bless them so forever
With these three gifts divine,
Your PEACE and JOY and HOPE
For my special friend, so kind.
