Challenge of the Month II
The Gift. Write the story of a gift, passed from one hand to another. Perhaps it is a heart-warming gesture of kindness and goodwill. Or perhaps it is something more foreboding, more sinister. Perhaps it is a simple, material object. Or perhaps it is something more amorphous, more esoteric. Whatever it is, it must be a gift. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.

My son.
For you, my son.
You bring me more joy than all of the Lord’s earthly delights.
You are my reason; my foundation.
Upon you I’ve constructed my dreams and aspirations.
No blessing of mine shall ever ascend your place atop the mountain of my life
You are the tallest peak on this hilltop trapped in time
...and I dare not shy away from the climb
You are my only reason why
Never a greater gift has breathed beneath the sky
