The Gifts in my Life

The gifts in my life are few
But as precious as gold
They lift me and see me through
When sadness takes hold


My gifts are my friends
Who read my poems and sing my songs
I do find it hard to comprehend
But they make me feel I belong


So, to them all, thank you
Without them my pen would be down
They help me do what I do
Even when rhyming does make me frown.
