you come into this world
from your mother's womb with nothing
you also leave this world with nothing
between the nothings for some, is a very short time
even during this very short time
you need these priceless gifts God gave you

He gave you eyes to see and a nose to smell
a mouth to talk, even a voice to sing
He gave you ears to hear, a strong healthy body
most important of all He gave you a heart
that will continue to beat until your forever ends

you may lose your eyesight
you may lose your hearing
you may lose so many of life's precious gifts

where the avenues grow wider
and are so much harder to cross
one thing you will need forever
the love of your friends
with a love that comes from their hearts.
