A Gift He gave me a gift but what do i do with it Nothing to open No paper to rummage through Not a box to cut open Not a string hanging to pull He gave me a gift But what do I do with it No instruction to go by Not a list of how or way I received his gift with open arms I acceped it What to do with it came all natural A touch of soft flesh A gift no one could match My genes My offspring A gift given to me
