Returning Gifts
Praise the Lord
And all that is in me praise the Lord
Or something like that
How can I praise such a thing as God
When I am such a thing as me?
To God be the glory
How can I glorify
When I am so small,
And my voice is broken?
I know the story of the smallest angel
In the movie, Fred Gwynne as
Mentor angel talks of his mother’s
Brown bread, when all
Were mortal
But in the young one
(newly angelified)
There is purity
And innocence to give
As gifts in the small box emblemize
What have I like these?
And wouldn’t I look at you
To say there is so much
Because there is—I
Guess I need to understand
That everything with life has worth
Even if itself it were a gift
I can turn it over
(so can you)
And that’s the act of service
And of love
