The dawn of a new day

Learning to cherish God’s way

Learning life lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

Seeing that faith is the key

To what’s meant to be

Planting the seeds

That lead to good deeds

Filling the soul

With what makes us whole

Ignoring all naysayers

While saying our prayers

Fulfilling the new purpose

Rising to the surface

Gaining a renewed strength

While talking with God at length

Looking at heaven above

While building a new love

Learning to stand

As we hold God’s hand

Remembering who we are

As we reach for a star

Giving as good as we get

With very little regret

Letting our light shine

Knowing everything is fine

Taking the time

To remember our prime

Finding a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Listening to a word

That’s the best we’ve heard

Turning our lives around

Suddenly finding solid ground

Looking ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Is all for the taking

And shows a soul in the making
