WHAT CAN I GIVE HIM ?

by Vincent Onwukanjo

What can I give Him -

He who created everything?

Before I think of what to give

Before I stretch my hand to give

already he has made me one -

and mine is nothing new to HIM.

What can I give Him -

He who has everything -

He who created everything?

For me to make a thing at all;

I’ll have to tiol and trip or fall

But He will think it, just a thought,

then words will burst it forth from HIM.

What can I give Him -

He who has everything -

He who created everything?

The air I breathe, I cannot give

Within it - is the life I live

The breath of life, the pump and blood

Were made, invented - all by HIM.
