Gifts from God

      
The Lord has blessed me with wonderful gifts,
He has shown His love for me in many ways,
However, there are three of which today,
I am most especially grateful.

After years of searching for someone,
To fill the enormous size 8 shoes,
Of my Pop who taught me about faith,
God has shown me, His marvelous love.

Father Pat’s gift of blindness,
Teaches me to see with my soul,
His fantastic accomplishments,
Makes me feel like I can fly.

Father Ron’s gift of support,
Gives me the strength and the fortitude,
To pursue my hopes and dreams,
To share my love of the Lord.

Father Kent’s gift of courage,
Shows me how to overcome,
My shyness and fear of people,
And is coaxing me out of my shell.

Together their gifts are a beacon,
To those of us in the darkness,
Giving us all the perseverance,
To follow the footprints in the sand.
