A Child Is the Greatest Gift

October 1, 2016

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. This week’s theme is pregnancy and childbirth.

Today’s poem thanks friends for gifts on the birth of a child.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

A child is the greatest gift

That our lives can bestow.

It brings the most exquisite joy

That we will ever know.

Some days deliver happiness,

Far more than we can touch.

We need the help of all our friends

To comprehend how much.

And so we thank you for the gifts,

Both those you brought and are,

That celebrate this rich, full life

And its rising star!
