Opening presents one by one
Christmas day has finally come
Thanking each person as I go
Opening carefully, each one bestowed
I spotted one gift, as yet not claimed
I saw no tag, nor written name
Curiosity got the better of me
I lifted the gift from under the tree
Whose gift is this? I wanted to know
A wonderous box topped with a bow
No one knew from where this gift came
So I opened the gift without any shame
Inside, there was written a verse -
'Twas a blessing and not a curse
"Your life, a gift was given back to you
Don't waste it now, it's yours to choose"
I closed my eyes, eternally grateful;
For last summer, a health scare fateful
To encourage and give back, now my desire
More than any presents I could now acquire.
