Most
Wonderful
Gift
I
didn't
know
God
had
in
mind
For
me,
a
special
gift,
When
I
felt
a
little
lonesome
And
needful
of
a
lift.
But,
I
felt
thus
as
I
prayed
That
He
had
it
written
down,
To
bless
me
in
some
secret
way
When
all
proposed
was
found.
Yet,
I
didn't
know
I
waited
For
His
own
sweet
surprise,
I
didn't
know
the
love
He
had
Nor
all
the
joy
He
visualized.
So,
every
day
I
kept
on
walking
Here
within
His
life
I
knew,
Faithfully
enduring
Just
as
one
has
to
do.
I
woke
upon
each
dawn,
arose
And
felt
the
sun's
warm
glow,
Then
tiptoed
through
each
moment
In
all
that
comes
and
goes.
But,
meanwhile
up
in
heaven
My
God
kept
at
design,
Like
Nanny
McPhee
at
work
On
lessons
that
were
mine.
He
whispered
here
and
tinkered
there
Withdrew,
then
added
some,
Of
rainy
clouds,
or
winds
that
blew,
I
didn't
know
'twas
love.
I
didn't
know
'twas
all
a
gift
This
needful,
never
wanted
state,
But
just
like
Nan
McPhee
for
me-
All
was
to
cultivate.
To
grow
the
more
in
understanding
In
pleasure
of
His
love,
To
watch
His
loveliness
unfold
In
all
He
chose
to
come.
And
then,
I
comprehended
The
love
He
had
for
me,
Yet,
if
I
sought
the
gift
to
stay,
Would
then
God
give
it
leave.
Oh
twixt,
why
can't
I
leave
it
all
to
Him
For
how
could
I
know
best,
He
alone
knows
everything
I
need
To
put
my
way
to
rest.
This
then
I
understand
dear
Lord,
In
needing
You
so
much,
Your
gift
is
e'er
the
special
draw,
the
more,
to
know
The
glory
of
Your
loving
touch.

Poetry
from
the
Heart
"Deep
within
there's
a
glorious
and
terrible
empty
space
-
loneliness.
It
is
out
of
sight,
pushing
us
to
our
best
and
to
our
worst.
Behind
every
effort
to
make
a
friend
-
Behind
ambition
-
Behind
pride
-
Behind
whispers
-
Behind
memories
of
our
mother's
kitchen
-
Loneliness.
We
were
created
with
the
space
carefully
planted
in
our
hearts.
God
created
us
with
the
loneliness
that
moves
the
heart
to
others,
the
loneliness
that
moves
the
heart,
at
last
to
God.
It
is
what
moves
us
to
become
whole."
~David
Kidd~
