A Gift from God

As I rose this morning with the rising sun,
I knew my day had just begun.
I got on my knees and started to pray.
At first, it seemed I had nothing to say.
Searching for an answer oh so pure,
I asked the Lord to help me endure.
With a response that went all so well,
He said to me, "My child, you must not tell."
I jumped to my feet trying not to snitch.
Suddenly, I noticed I had an itch.
I reached in my pocket only to find,
The key to my heart that was hopefully mine.
Bright, bold, and beautiful I could see,
A gift from God given to me.
