Secrets

My secrets lie in my heart

That’s where they always start

Secrets of joy and pain

Secrets of what I’ll gain

Secrets of joy and laughter

Secrets of my next chapter

Secrets of my soul

Secrets that make me whole

Secrets of my solid ground

Secrets that turned my life around

Secrets of the blessings

I count without stressing

Secrets of the love

That feels like heaven above

Secrets of the strength

I gain from God at length

Secrets of the seeds

That lead to good deeds

Secrets of the wide smile

That last awhile

Secrets of what feel

Secrets I can’t conceal

Secrets I know

Secrets I’ll always show

Secrets only God will tell

Secrets He knows well

Peaceful Living

Seeing another day

Cherishing it in every way

Walking a mile

To see a beautiful smile

Knowing the journey

Is meant for you only

Talking with God

Giving Him a wink and nod

Sitting perfectly still

Accepting His will

Sharing your dreams

Until you burst at the seams

Always being kind

Finding peace of mind

Learning to love

Like heaven above

Continuing to grow

As you share what you know

Finding a place

Filled with God’s grace

Knowing what’s real

Knowing what you can’t conceal

Is worth giving

And is part of peaceful living

Passage Of Time

During the passage of time

We remember our prime

The lessons we learned

The things we earned

The God we trust

The one who stayed with us

What we used to fear

What we held dear

The tender touch

That meant so much

And the new day

We cherish in every way

During the passage of time

We begin to grow

As we share what we know

We see blessings granted

We water the seeds we planted

Everything’s set in stone

God never leaves us alone

We learn to love

Like heaven above

We stay strong

We see where we belong

And we find a place

Filled with guidance and grace

During the passage of time

In Life

In life we pray

We cherish every day

We endure pain

We see what we’ll gain

We find a place

Filled with guidance and grace

God’s tender loving care

Is always there

Our God given purpose

Rises to the surface

And we get stronger

As our days get longer

In life we let go

Of what we used to know

We start a new chapter

Filled with joy and laughter

We learn to smile

The smile last awhile

Love holds us close

Cause love matters most

We sit perfectly still

As we accept God’s will

And we find solid ground

No matter who’s around

In life

The River

We gathered at the river

We counted our blessings

Without a lot of stressing

God was present that day

He showed us the way

He removed every fear

He dried every tear

It didn’t take long

To see where we belong

And life got better

When we embraced it to the letter

As we gathered at the river

We thought about the past

All the moments we made last

The life lessons

That became heartfelt confessions

The unconditional love

That felt like heaven above

Every silent prayer

That told us God was there

The solid ground

That turned our lives around

The tender touch

That meant so much

And ultimate giver

That led us to the river

As

As I face a new day

I accept God’s way

I start a new journey

Meant for me only

The moment is pure

It makes me feel secure

It shows how far I can go

As I share what I know

I learn life lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

And I gain strength

As I talk with God at length

As I see my purpose

Rise to the surface

I’m filled with pride

I cannot hide

It fills me to the core

I couldn’t ask for more

I hold God’s hand

Right where I stand

He makes clear

That He holds me dear

I keep faith close

Cause it matters most

As I continue the journey

Meant for me only
