Poem
LORD I am here waiting for your will to be done Sitting at the kitchen table watching the rising sun. The sky is a clear blue as a background for the sun As I sit and thank you for my family and everyone. Each day that I awake there is a lesson to be learned It may not be stupendous But in my heart it will burn. You’ve given us so much that we should be thankful for The sun , the moon , the rivers and the streams The green grass and the tall beautiful trees. You’ve given us food from all walks of life From the seas and the skies From the earth below our feet And for all that we eat. You show us both sides of life , the good and the bad Just so that “ we could understand”. That everything in life is truly free. It starts in our hearts and travels to our minds And we can find peace and contentment till the ends of time. The sacrifices that we make , can be heartache and pain But nothing in life ever remains the same. There is a price for everything - but it’s not for the foods we eat But for the love he’s given us -and the hatreds we must defeat. The “bad “ is in our hearts and minds And not anything on the ground All you have to do is turn and look around. We must defeat the “thoughts” of all our jealousies Wants , and hates - and wake up to the beauties Before it’s much too late. Like the song says “ accentuate the positive And eliminate the negative”. That is the key if we want to be free. So I sit here with these thoughts in my mind And thanking you DEAR LORD Till the end of my time. © L RAMS
