Forever In His Debt

We walked through meadows wet with dew.
The night was old, the day was new.
The eastern sky was promising
Delights the coming morn would bring.
I followed where His footsteps led
And listened to the things He said.
I picked His words, like daisies, white,
And made a chain to bind me tight,
So in His Presence I would stay,
Until He leads me home someday.
I gathered other flowers too.
Forget-me-knots.  A sprig of rue,
For things I've done that I regret.
I am forever in His debt,
Because He gives such gifts to me
And forgives the flaws I see!
