Gift of Love

I searched all through the day,

And searched all through the night.

For the perfect gift to give you;

The one that seamed just right.

I scattered through my mind

For a single place to start,

But what I didn’t know

Was to search inside my heart.

I want to give you something special

That will never go away.

Something that will help you get

Through each and every day.

Please Lord just send to me a clue

Of a single place to start.

He said, “My child the perfect gift

You’ll find inside your heart.”

The moment that you held me,

And I looked into your eyes…

It hit me! The perfect gift is love,

And in my heart is where it lies!

So please take this gift of love,

And never set it free…

So each and every day you’ll share

The most special part of me.
