Granted

blessing or curse

Not proven and not earned
is a gift in disguise
Lurking in the background
of many not wise

 

A fault with a purpose
control is the goal
Attracting the unwary
and taking its toll

 

Gifts may be the error
so very well disguised
Creating dependency
no one should be surprised

 

The gift of life is required
for anyone to live
None could survive
with no one to give

 

It is a fair exchange
to accept life and its lift
As long as we learn how
to give others a gift

 

When we learn to use effort
as our path to success
We won't be beguiled
to do anything less

 

Think carefully about your gifts
so they won't do harm
Improperly given
they will be cause for alarm

 

Learning to use proof
in the gifts we grant
Takes understanding truth
without which we can't

 

Gifts will be a blessing
when they come from the heart
A boon to relationships
and a way they can start
