I was awakened by the rising sun

I counted my blessings

Then thanked God for every one

As I ate breakfast

I thought about how far I’ve come

And the moment when God dried my tears

And eased all my fears

I came into my own

Thanks to the man on the throne

I know I have much further to go

The journey will help me grow

I pray every day

And God shows me the way

My voice I raise

In a song of praise

My purpose is clear

I’ll hold it dear

It’s God given

I’ll remain driven

God is with me

That’s the way it’s suppose to be

Until the end

There’s no need to pretend

Upon much introspection

These are my reflections
