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
