the blessing


It's a beautiful gift
that many received
yet many had to wait for years for it too
and some never even get.

I heard some gifts were being flushed away
Some were stabbed repeatedly
Some ended up in dumpsters
Oh yes, some were hit...and strangled

I read that many gifts were repacked too
and left by the roadsides
..in front of somebody's house
..beside a drain
and many other places I couldn't imagine.
Some were lucky to be picked up by strangers
Some returned to where they came from

Children are a blessing to be cherished, aren't they?
