You may think you are an accident
not planned–
with no purpose.
Parents young when they made you
didn’t want you from the first.
But your Creator
fashioned you in the womb
with great care and excitement.
Your hair, your toes, your quirks
were precisely infused into you.
He carefully
and skillfully
planned your blueprints–
your wrapping–
a gift,
A gift to this earth.
And this gift
is You.
Yes, life is hard
and your parents weren’t of your choosing.
But you are a gift,
a gift from the heavens.
A gift from above.
You were skillfully,
and meticulously crafted with a purpose.
You are a gift.
And it is time to unwrap the gift,
the destiny–
the purpose–
the problem you were designed specifically to solve,
and let the peoples of the earth
rejoice in their gift
and be blessed by you.
