The gift of knowing you...

My Gift, originally uploaded by bpitzer20

There are gifts of many treasures
For both the young and old,
From the tiniest little trinkets
To great boxes filled with gold.

But, put them all together
And they could not stand in lieu,
Of the greatest gift of all
The gift of knowing you.

When your times are filled with troubles
Sadness, grief, or even doubt,
When all those things you planned on
Just aren't turning out.

Just turn and look behind you
From the place at which you stand,
And look for me through the shadows
And reach out for my hand.

I will lift from you your burden
And cry for you your tears,
Bear the pain of all your sorrows
Though it may be for a thousand years.

For in the end I would be happy
To have helped you start anew,
It's a small price to pay
For the gift of knowing you.

The Gift of Knowing You
By Dave Stout

To Sean, my Sweetest Blessing...

Celebrating this special day, the 20th of August,
how grateful i am of being reminded of how lucky i am
to have received the greatest gift four years ago...
And it's the GIFT OF KNOWING YOU.....

And as i live my days and count all my blessings,
as i reckon of all the times you wiped
those tears that fell from my eyes,
for the moments my lips form a smile,
for all the laughters that echoes in my ears,
for the scents that lingers in the air...
They all turn my thoughts to YOU...

And if to ask why i love so true?
The answer will always and only be YOU...

with all my LOVE,
Stacey
