The Core Of Every Gift..

Family is a vital component of a person's life. It is a gift given by Him who's above us that's not worth-comparing. The following piece was a gift given to my dear sister on her 18th Birthday. (I placed "I" in place of "she" for stronger emphasis on her behalf. This is really meant for her. Good luck.. >.<)
P.S. Clarice knows her family loved her, is loving her, and will love her forever.. hhmm..



The Best Gift
By: Jireh D. Arriola


I'd like to give my best in everything I do.
But there were times fatigue I can't dare to subdue.
When tired, nothing else to do but procrastinate.
But sure chance is lost if from straight path I deviate.
For trials I may endure, and not feel the tense,
Often times within my chest I instill patience.

Then I've come to realize all of these are done,
Because of them who are with me and are not gone.
Gone, when dark ominous clouds appear and am down,
Gone, when gigantic waves wash the shore and am drown.
Hence to Above often I am grateful, and pray.
For the love I felt, if compared, riches won't pay.
