Gifts

I have given him 
many gifts - more 
than he knows.

He has given me 
bright eyes - a 
heart that shows.

I have given him 
my hand - a 
warm skin.

He has given me 
home to return to 
and kin.

I have given him 
my laughter 
and tears.

He has given me 
comfort against 
my fears.

I have given him 
my life, the 
roads I go.

He is giving me
reasons
to follow.
