The Gift That You Are
How God Granted My Greatest Wish
Hours slipped by for days on end,
as I sat alone whilst aching for a friend.
No one at school really liked me
no matter how friendly I aimed to be,
the little girl with too many problems
just wanted a friend, you see.
I was five years old and upon a star I wished,
with every hope in me that my life
would be better from that day forward
despite all the pain I had been dished.
No one around back then seem to understand me
despite every time I tried to explain,
but after so long of being ignored
all I could do was try not to go against the grain.
I wanted to be normal and loved,
someone who would be there to understand
aside from the Lord above.
Then when I was six I was graced with a gift,
together we could travel through life -
and when we fall down
each other we could lean on and lift.
At six years old my mother tried to calmly explain,
that I was going to have a sibling
and my excitement was one that I could barely contain.
Three days before my next birthday
she was brought into the world,
and I promised that I would protect her
to the best of what I could do..
just as the tears unfurled.
I was told I could name her
which was such an important job,
'they were crazy for giving it to... me.'
I thought with a sob.
Nevertheless I name her Tiffany
I held her and looked at her with so much love,
because I know that God answered my prayer
from his throne somewhere up above.
We are in two different states now
though our love for each other still remains,
for from that moment all those years ago
was an instant bond that could endure all
of life's corrupting pains.
My wish for her is to always keep her head up
and know that she was the prayer,
that God granted me to let me know
that he is still always there.

Hi! You will soon find different varieties here. I am a writer and a poet, though I am still passing some stepping stones with this. I get wrapped up in the poem sometimes and it may turn out long in the end, so I apologize in advance. :3
