THE GIFT
My past has brought me to you. Your future will bring you to me. One of the hardest things for me to handle, Is not knowing just who you'll be. Your family has loved you. My family will. One thing I can promise you, Is that I will cherish you until... Your gift to me is a special one. My gift to you will be To take care of your gift until I am done. I wish we could have met in a different way. But meeting you now, I must say, Has given me a second chance at life. So, my new friend, You have left your family behind. But your gift will allow me More years with mine. God has always loved us all. And you're with Him now. So save me a place among the moon and the stars for when I get the call. And one day when we meet for a second time. A heavenly hug, Will be a gift of mine."
