God's Gift

You were given to me
During a time when I needed you most
God allowed you to hold me
You appeared strong when I was weak
You are my divine connection
You stregthen me without trying
And continue daily
Your love not only fills me
It completes me
And makes me better
This is a unique love
Truly unconditional
