A Gift to the World

A Gift to the World

By Prince Nelson Balina Omukisa Yiga

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Dear Judyth,

God gave a gift to the world when you were born "
a person who loves, who cares,
who sees a person`s need and fills it,
who encourages and lifts people up,
who spends energy on others
rather than herself,
someone who touches each life she enters,
and makes a difference in the world,
because ripples of kindness flow outward
as each person you have touched, touches others.
Your birthday deserves to be a national holiday,
because you are a special treasure
for all that you`ve done.
May the love you have shown to others
return to you, multiplied.
I wish you the happiest of birthdays,
and many, many more,
so that others have time to appreciate you
as much as I do.

~nelson~"
