Gifts

My gifts are not for me to own
To guard or hold as mine
But treasures you have loaned to me
To be a holy sign
I bear not proud accomplishment
For times that I succeed
Nor long for gifts of other men
With heart eclipsed by greed
I long to walk and move in you
Like you have moved in me
I hope my life is lived in you
As gift, I'm made to be
I pray I give this back to you
More precious than before
For I am but a broken soul
But you have made me more

-C. O'Connell
