The Gift of Life

© Copyright Crystal Thornycroft, 2010

In all the gifts of life
That we may ever receive
The greatest gift of all life
Is the gift of life itself
The greatest gift is the gift of being alive,
The gift of being born, no matter who we are or where we are from
We are gifted, we are gifts, and so it is why we are born
To celebrate this very gift that we are
In all its fullness, strength and delightful nectar
That comes when we laugh, when we smile,
When we know it is okay and it is our RIGHT
To truly SHINE
To be ourselves no matter where we are or in whose
Presence we are standing in
And that laugh that is so contagious,
That gentle smile that makes another one smile too
And those sparkling eyes that say to you
“I am alive! I am truly alive!”
And, I am happy to meet you, just the way you are,
I don’t care how you are feeling right now, or if you are a little low
I am happy to share this gift of being alive, right now, with you
For you are a walking, dancing gift
Just like myself, and so let’s share this mystery together
For we both breathe the same air,
The same life force runs through our veins,
And though we may speak a different language
From time to time,
Our hearts speak the same language; the Language of Light,
The Language of Love and Fellowship
Though we are different we are the same
And though we may be miles away
We are both a breath away from the next world
That we will all one day die into
Only to be reborn
Oh, how I love this gift, this precious and foremost gift
The gift of being born, of being alive
The gift of life is precious
May we both drink from the same fountain of life
And live in abundance and delight
And draw nearer and nearer to the Great Spirit,
The Great Source, the Great Inspiration
That drew us here and for a very good reason
Not just by chance but by LOVE.
