Life, it is a gift, the beginning of all that’s new;
Open the package carefully, there are some things you must do
Be gentle with the wrapping; the strings are ties that bind. The objects in the package control the heart and mind.
Inside you’ll find emotions, powerfully strong yet true; Trust my words—be still to know—they’re designed especially for you.
GUIDANCE makes a difference in the choices you will make.
TRUTH soothes the heart and soul when all others will forsake.
KNOWLEDGE is the power to excel throughout your life;
WISDOM comes with knowledge to learn what’s wrong and right.
In the center of the package is the object that’s called LOVE; It embraces every element to ensure what you’re made of.
Nothing is more powerful; be assured that you will find, In the center of your being, LOVE endures the test of time.
This gift to you begins today, no matter when you start; The circle of LOVE remains the same, deep within your heart.
