Our Gift

a poem by Amanda Hubanks

I see mass confusion all around us.
I hear people talk of glory and fame.
I look at this world
and I see so much sorrow,
so much pain.

Have we all forgotten
that this world was a gift from god.
Do we have to show him so much shame.

God has given each of us the gift of love.
Can’t we find it in our heart’s
and try to get along
and use the gift that was given to us
from up above.
