GIFT OF LIFE
My friend
why are you so sad?
Why have lost faith in Life?
Do you need a helping hand
at this point in life
like many others?
That is the way life is.
Let me tell you my own story
I wasn't born
with a silver spoon in my mouth,
nor did I inherit a heirloom.
I have gone through times
when I lived on few pence a day.
It was hard going, but
I learned to survive.
Life has been very generous too
everything I have got today
it's a gift of life.
Now
if I offer you
a small part of what I have
I am not doing you a favour
only
paying back a little
what I owe to life.
My friend
come forward
don't hesitate
don't refuse
this too is a gift of life to you.
(IRONBRIDGE 1987)
