When i sit idly and relax a bit
I wonder sometimes "what is gift"?
How to explain if i try
i take pause ,think and reply
Something has been given to you
that you hasn't ask to do
Many say that life is a gift
What i see is opposite
Why then everyone complain
We find most of us just whin
I have to agree with phrase
Life is a gift" whoever says
I may do not own much wealth
What about my priceless health!?
Despite i fall sick and that
whatever is left ,is great
whenever i think of God
Who made earth for us so broad
Filled it with numerous gains
For a while i feel such a sham
Then roofed it with sky so blue
Which tells how make dreams come true
We can keep balance and reason
He created different seasons
Our senses and views around
Deliver us message so profound
He wanted more then just bread
So he blessed us soul with creed
To save us from wither about
Put us in a "family" bout
We don't beat just hallow drum
Gifted us with aestheticism
We don't stay here deaf and blind
Blessed us with "heart" and Mind
With which we think and explore
Keep trying to grow more
Which make us kind very Unique
So we should not fall in creek
One can never reach this Mount
If try to his blessings count
Taking granted anyone's gift
Can make Him his blessings lift
Gifts are water and life is Glass
Keeping eyes on the "filled" part !
I like your poem, Baili. Thank you for sharing it with us. It is a gift to be here, even in our world the way it is. Breath is a gift. Life itself is a gift. Why are we here? How did this happen to us? None of us is here by accident. You were made and I was made for a purpose. It is mind-boggling. 💙
ReplyDeletefrom stars to tiniest bacteria and all everything is serving it's part dear Sandi ,i completely agree to what you said here
Deletewe often here in movies or show ,nothing happens coincidently but we forget when it comes to life and universe sadly .even body has good and bad bacteria ,,nature points out how crucial it is to be alert and aware of our thoughts and actions
Food for thought, beautifully written, Baili!

Dear Baili,

What a thoughtful and soulful muse,
A reflection on gifts that life imbues.
Your words weave a tapestry, grand and wise,
Pointing to wonders that often disguise.
Life as a gift—oh, what a debate,
Some see burden, others see fate.
But your lens reveals a profound view,
Of blessings abundant, both old and new.
Health, though fragile, is precious indeed,
A gift that nourishes every deed.
And though we falter, stumble, or fall,
The strength to rise is a gift for all.
The sky above, so vast, so blue,
A canvas for dreams to venture through.
The seasons teach us to adapt and grow,
A rhythm of life we come to know.
Hearts to feel and minds to explore,
Gifts that make us crave for more.
Not wealth alone, but love and creed,
Fulfill the soul’s eternal need.
Your poem reminds, with every line,
To cherish the blessings, subtle, divine.
The "filled part" of life's fragile glass,
Holds treasures no trials can surpass.
Oh my dear Lord
