Each evening I recount my day to You
And each morning I count my blessings too.
Every hour I recite a little prayer,
So sure am I that You are listening there.
I do not raise my eyes up to the sky
When talking to you.  This the reason why.
Since knowing You, we've not been far apart.
Dear Lord I know You're right here in my heart.

That was really good.  I like that, it's like a little beautiful prayer about recognizing God in your life.  Thanks for sharing.

Joyce,

I do appreciate the closeness that your poem explains that we have with God in that He is not found somewhere in the distance but right in the center of our heart.  Beautiful.  Bob <><
