 Poem:

THANK GOD

 

Thank God.

The spirits of who've gone before,
Each night caress my soul,
Giving me the faith I have,
Making me feel whole.

It matters not the road ahead,
What perils might befall,
The love within the universe,
Is making me walk tall.

I breathe in what is good for me,
The hope, the love, the song,
And every breath that I breathe out,
Expunges what is wrong.

I feel the beauty and the joy,
Of being just alive,
And every day presents to me,
Great reasons to survive.

I try to keep to my beliefs,
My faith has made me strong,
With random acts of kindness too..
I know I can't go wrong.

Lifes simple pleasures please me now,
It's like I'm born anew,
I've found what rocks my universe,
And I'm here to see it through.

My life is filled with joy untold,
It's washed my spirit clean,
Like waking from eternal sleep-
Encased within a dream.

My purpose now - to sieze the day,
My arms now open wide,
Embracing all life offers me,
With joy I cannot hide.

And each day as the sun does set,
I'll know it's meant to be,
That God saw fit to bless my life,
And set my spirit free.

With gentle understanding..
It's very plain to see,
I am blessed right now, and always,
And I thank God for making me.
