![](http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg20/survivor_2008/sunset6.jpg?t=1201897219") These Are The Gifts As I walk these open plains, I think how life is so sweet. And of all the singing birds, that go tweet, tweet, tweet. --A world full of surprises, and of happiness and joy. --The opportunities in life, not to be treated as a toy. We have family and friends, who loves all of us dearly. They give us their love, and help us to think clearly. There’s the food that we eat, and the drinks that we drink. And the colours we can see, like orange, blue, and pink. There are many of these Gifts, that God gives to us all. Then He leaves it up to us --to live small or to stand tall. As I walk these open plains, I realize how valuable life can be. We are free to make our choices. --We’re the holders of our keys.

Yes Arctic Wind you have quoted some very wise words in that poem. There are a lot of people in this world today who do not realise just how lucky they are, that we in the western world are free to do what we want. Great poem. Lindsay |

Arctic Wind, reading your poetry is always a pause that refreshes!  Yes, I do believe we are the holders of our keys and that we can choose "to live small or stand tall" ~ regardless of our individual circumstances. Your gratitude for God's Gifts, is very apparent in this gracious, inspirational piece of writing. P.S. I always enjoy your choice of graphics to accompany your poems. Love & God's Gifts, EA  |

Artic Wind, Like most wishful thinking, it’s a good idea. However, it’s unfortunately only sporadically realized in this world--perhaps in heaven. Bobby |
