The Gift of Life

Info

I see the wonders and the surprises presented so generously,

I hear new sounds and familiar voices loved dearly,

I touch and tickle the textures of the Earth within my limits,

I count, understand and know the minutes,

I think; I decipher the mysteries of this little understood world,

I taste the flavors of life, all together purled.


I sense my natural reactions and that of those around,

I interact limitlessly, unrestricted and unbound.

I question to quench my innate curiosity,

I form answers for my own self and for the society.

I affect and inflict; I endure when it's my turn,

I learn and grow with time, each pearl of wisdom earned.


I feel every tiny, little emotion gifted by Thee, 

And thus I wonder who's divine, Thou or Me.
