God-granted Gift...



 A crisp morning startles the countryside as Time extends its gift beneath that diamond in the sky...

 ...and when we lay us down to sleep and pray the Lord, may we not be ashamed of how we claimed God's gift to you and me...

Ah, little moments interlocked
And gently set adrift
You create for each of us
A wonder-woven gift

With shimmering of air you shape
A thing of weighted worth
And all that we can do is take
This gift from heav’n to earth

Then, with this rendering of grace
Oh, may we learn to live
In such a way as not to waste
What God saw fit to give
