GOD'S GIFT

I prayed to God for worldly wealth
Asked Him for strength and good health
A sun to brighten my daily fare
so I can brave storms and violent gale.

I prayed to God for wisdom
and the gift of words and prose
I asked Him to give me a star
that sparkles from a far.

I wished for joy and pleasure
all the world's treasures
God gave me not gold
He gave me you, true and bold.

In God's wisdom , He chose the best
More radiant than the star and the rest
No gift on earth is greater nor better
Than the lifetime of love you aver.
