The Gift

The Gift

A Poem by Melinda McQueen

All a part of each other,

We give ourselves to another.

What we share

Gives love and care.

 

One may have the gift of listening…

Simply being there and witnessing

The hurt in someone’s heart;

In the healing to be a vital part.

 

Some have the gift of song…

To move others along

In praising the King

With what they sing.

                        

One may have the gift of healing…

Asking God’s pardon for someone else while kneeling.

Seeking the Healer’s touch,

“For the prayer of a righteous man avails much.”

 

Some have the gift of leadership…

Leading God’s people to Him.

A shepherd to sheep,

So God’s Word they keep.

 

Many other gifts does He give to His children

As grace He sends.

While the greatest gift ever

Was the gift of Jesus, His Son forever.
