The Gift.....

THE GIFT

Be still, my soul, and steadfast.

Earth and heaven both are still watching

Though time is draining from the clock 

And your walk, that was confident and quick,

Has become slow.

So, be slow if you must, but let

the heart still play its true part.

Love still as once you loved, deeply

and without patience.  Let God and the world

Know you are grateful.

And that the gift has been given
