Gift

Sometimes, in life, you receive a gift


Something or someone enters your life


And changes it, somehow


It makes your life worthwhile again


It makes you live it to its full potential


It shows you everything that could be


It makes you want to realize all your possibilities


Take every chance


Live life to the fullest


It makes you want to be the best of you


Not wasting time with frivolities


Understanding what really matters in life


But there is a caveat


The gift is not yours to keep


One day you will have to let it go


Let someone else enjoy its powers


Let someone else receive the joys of the gift


Let your life unfold by itself


The old indians were aware of that


“The gift must always move”


For it is in the nature of the gift


Letting go of the gift is hard


It is as being amputated


Something that has become part of you is gone


There is the ghost pain


The haunting memories


The need to have it back


But, as water in a river


The gift must flow


Let someone else enjoy it


Contemplate the fact that you once had the gift


And that the gift is an unbreakable contract


Once received, the gift owns you forever


But, maybe, someday


You will not need a gift


Maybe, someday, you will be someone else’s gift
