The Gift.

Towards the end I've found a great friend.
The warrior in me, can no longer pretend.
From this impatient self I have to transcend,
for the shadow in me, I can no longer befriend.

The beauty that's in me, I can no longer resist,
for its the resisting of this, that has let the darkness persist.
The only thing that we hurt when we judge and hurt others,
is the light that's in us, the same light from our brothers.
In our sisters and mothers, our friends and our lovers, this light unites all, every skin shade and color.

The greatest enemy of all,
 is our urge to resist,
the one thing in this life that cannot desist.
We curse and we worry and punish ourselves,
instead of letting it go and praying for help.
Our protection and love, is all that we need
but it is this simplest of acts, that we fail to heed.

Humility is needed, before we will ever let go,
we must drop to our knees, only then will we grow.

When we surrender to God and forgive all our foes,
we'll inherit the gift, of all that God knows.

Residing in us, lies this gift, still and dormant,
nothing will move, till we realise its importance.
Nothing will shift till we tune into him
and nothing will grow till we let the love in.

The greatest desire of the soul, is to be pure, sweet and good.
We've been tested and trailed and haven't withstood,
all our passions and urges,
and done what we should.
We've given in, to our thoughts and chased after what's nought.
We've made the wrong choices and not done what we ought.

Now nearing the end, I have found a truly great friend,
its in Her I can confide and truly depend.
I surrender my heart to the sweetest of lovers,
for it is in Her I can excel and truly discover,
the most heavenly Gift, from our most heavenly Mother.
