A Step At a Time

Even though others couldn’t wake up in the morning With cries and wailing Filling up their homesteads I thank you God That I still walk on this earth Having given me another chance Even though others would have nothing To eat for days and even to drink I have a slice of bread and a drop of water to drink I thank you God Even though some have cars and private jets To take them everywhere I thank you God That I could still use my legs Taking to take me anywhere Knowing that there are those who have legs But cannot even walk Even though I cannot sing as the birds do In their moments of joy I thank you God that I have ears To listen to their soothing melodies Even though I have never been perfect in life And err many times over I thank you God That you still shower Your Grace and mercy on me Even though I only pray When in pain and worried I thank you God That you still answer my prayers
