I have given you a present.

It's beautifully wrapped and finished with a golden bow 

The box is large and not really of much worth 

If left to stand where I placed it.

The paper and bow are just a cover 

For you to explore and remove.

As you carefully unwrap the layers, like an onion 

So you find each part is connected.

For my friend, this gift has many layers.

Layers of your life 

Layers of your joys and pains.

As you get closer to the centre 

The layers each become brighter.

When you reach the last layer, it takes your breath away 

For my present to you is the greatest gift of all.

My Son -Jesus.
