The Gift I had given up hope of knowing the love of a lifetime. I had given up hope of knowing the love of friendship. I had given up hope of knowing the love of a companion. I had given up hope of knowing the love of a child.   One night you gave me love and a lifetime was created. One night you gave me love and a friendship blossomed. One night you gave me love and a companion I found. One night you gave me love and touched my heart and soul.   In your arms I found hope and the love of a lifetime. In your arms I found hope and the love of friendship. In your arms I found hope and the love of a companion. In your arms I found hope and the greatest gift. In your arms I found hope and the love of a son.   9/29/2002
