| The Gift Within In my lifetime I have received many gifts. From my birthday to Christmas gifts they all are very special to me, but no gift is as special as the gift I found within myself. The gift I found within is one that can not be bought but can be gave to all. The gift I found within was LOVE. It was an ordinary school day when I met this beautiful girl named Yolonda Harrington. When I saw her I felt a cool rush all over my body that caused chill bumps all over me. I could smell her sweet candy scented perfume as she walked by. Her hair was so long and shiny like it was silk. I knew those feelings were funny but they felt good to me. I just had the feeling that she was the girl for me. Yolonda and I began to have conversation and started to form a friendship. Months later our friendship grew and I discovered that gift within myself. Of course the gift was my love for her. Love is a very strong word and should not be taken for granted. I knew that it was real and I could not control it. I would sometimes find myself alone thinking about Yolonda and laughing at things she have said. I finally found something within that no one can ever take from me and it feels good. I just hope that my gift remains. |
