One More Day

One more day You've given
One more to praise Your name.
One more day of sunshine
Your glories to acclaim.

The birds were up before me,
Singing their sweet refrain,
All busily proclaiming
Their love for You again.

As the day progresses
May we pause to reflect
On the beauty of this world
You made grand and perfect.

There was no mad disorder
Until all changed by man.
We are the imperfections
Who dared to thwart Your plan.

Spoiled and reckless children,
We've gone our thoughtless way.
It's time to turn to You Lord
And live for Your today.

Beautiful... I make this my prayer, too.

“We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson

I certainly agree with you that today is a most marvelous day to live for God and to give God all the Praise and all the Glory for His wonderful creation. Very uplifting poetry here which reflects some of the very thoughts that I've been also having lately. God bless you my friend and thank you so very much for sharing.

(sigh) I truly believe everyday is a great day to thank our Lord for all He has done, sadly many still take that for granted and I pray they too can find this guidance soon! (big hugggssssss) So may we bow down before Him in homage, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Joyce, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

A Beautiful Poem. If you can't find God Within, you only have to look at Nature
to see the Wonders Created.
Thanks for Sharing this.
Good Will Always,

Right on, Joyce.  I think serious poets, everyone for that matter, often reflect on the finite-ness of this life.  This draws our hearts to where they can be filled with eternity.

Love,
