A Year In My Life

Twelve months within one’s life
may not amount to all that much
but in the course of all your years
these year’s moments may really touch

Set out to read old testament every day
from Genesis to Malachi throughout the year
some high and low points along the way
but grateful to God for His word so clear

The pleasures of the great outdoors
travel around the Scottish countryside
gaze on the great work of creation
such privilege to view nature’s bride

Opportunity to read many fine books
Carnegie, Churchill, Tozer to name a few
inspires the heights lifts one’s heart
with soothing classics sounds on cue

Celebrate silver anniversary the highlight
of the year my true love so fair
fills one with thankfulness a plenty
for God’s grace, faithfulness and constant care
