THE GIFT

THE GIFT

the gift

it's a free gift for you
thankyou
I wonder what I did
to deserve a free gift ?
nothing, you did nothing
how many free gifts do you have
an eternity
is it, the same gift for all ?
yes, it is salvation
I see, there is no bow
no pretty paper..
just a box
you see a box..it's the gift of eternal life
a gift of love from God

and you can not earn Gods love
it is a gift..

oh really, so let me get this straight
I get exactly the same, as a murderer ?
yes, it's a gift, a free gift
it doesn't seem quite right..
to lead a richeous life..as opposed to a sinner
we are all sinner's
but to what degree..a simple thought ? is that a sin
yes, we are all sinner's
therefore nothing matters..nothing
I can't live like that..I have to be better
than the gutter.
you just failed the test..
thought I might therefore I did
it's not a free gift..is it
it's free, free for those we chose

Excellent ... as always.
Wry, wise and just a little wicked.

And I love your use of Rossetti's Beata Beatrix.

It was just a thought I had..and the picture..I had a copy of it for ages without knowing what it was..the story behind it is tragic.
Thanks..

Is it unique..I hope it is me..in there..lost somewhere in the statements..we gleam stuff from others and hopefully it's our own..do we own words..do they own us.
now I am confused..bless you Lost...

Unique? Yes. We do not own words nor do they own us. Every single word we write has already been written and will still be written. It is our expression that is unique. In that you are unique. Plus all of what I've said above sounds really clever.Ā

I don't know where that 'no' came from..it's a gate crasher..I just saw it..it's this stupid phone as I am at work and it does automatic writing..it even does my pin code 99 times sometimes..I think I am over electrically charged.. ignore the no...
