The Gift
There was a young woman who was lonely
all around here people seemed to share
something she could not have
the gift of love was precious
and when it ran true
it was rare and special
she went to the one
she called friend and teacher
for He could help her find the one
that was her destiny
He looked upon her with a sadness
she could not understand
all she wished for was love
and He gave her that wish
when what she thought was love
failed her heart and she was alone
she questioned Him
the sadness returned to His eyes
you asked me to give you love
my precious little one
and so I did
it is you that does not accept
the gift I have given you.
