Time

The thing you can’t waste

The thing you can’t use in haste

The thing that moves swiftly

The thing you can’t change completely

The thing that will make you take a stance

The thing that will give you a second chance

Gifts

Give me a greeting and I’ll offer one in return

Give me the stars and I’ll give you the moon

Give me the sun and I”ll give you a rainbow

Give me a tender kiss and I’ll give you a warm embrace

Give me your heart and I’ll give you mine

Offer me a kind word and I’ll do likewise

Give me your loneliness and I’ll give you comfort

Give me your trials and I’ll give you peace

Give me a smile and I’ll give one in return

Give me your truth and I’ll give you respect

These things we can share

For they are God given gifts

Your Eyes

Your eyes are all aglow

They tell me all I need to know

You love and care for me deeply

I love you honestly

Right from the start

You put a move on my heart

In your eyes I see life in its splendor

My faith in you I’ll never surrender

Everything’s set in stone

My thoughts won’t leave me alone

I see all that we can share

And all the dreams we should dare

Your eyes are made of gold

You’re a story that should be told

I’ll give all I have inside

I’ll stand by you with pride

It’s only fair

Because you’ve always been there

Your eyes represent a journey

Ordained by God only

It should come as no surprise

That’s what I see in your eyes

Most Of All

I’ve been through the fire

Right down to the wire

Looking for peace

The kind you don’t want to release

I’ve been shamed

I’ve been defamed

Yes it’s  true

I’ve made it  through

Winter, spring, summer and fall

I thank God most of all

I traveled down a long, winding road

While carrying a heavy load

I thought it was too much to bear

But God was there

Now I’m on to something new

I’ve changed my point of view

Winter, spring, summer and fall

I thank God  most of all

People wonder where my strength lies

It should come as no surprise

My Lord and Savior has been by my side

My gratitude I can’t hide

He’s kept me on track

He’s given me everything I lack

Winter, spring, summer and fall

I thank God most of all

Morning Beautiful

I woke up to the glistening sun

I counted my blessings

Each and every one

The birds sang as I started on my way

I thanked God for another day

I prepared for everything

As I thought of the joy life can bring

I focused on my God given purpose

I saw it come to the surface

Over breakfast and coffee God made it plain

I have a lot to gain

I listening intently

I followed instructions completely

And now I’m on to something new

Thanks to a different point of view

Reaching my potential didn’t take long

My faith has kept me strong

Naysayers aren’t a hinderance

I  just rely on God’s deliverance

Now it’s abundantly clear

There’s nothing to fear

I take nothing for granted

The seed has been planted

To be truthful

I had a morning beautiful
