All Is Well
It's four am and all is well as we begin our walk.
The dogs cavorting merrily as we commune and talk.
I tell Him of the beauty that surrounds me every day.
The joy that comes from knowing Him plain words cannot convey.
He has given me so much that oft I take for granted.
Good health, good food and freedom that through life goes unsupplanted.
I eat what I want to eat, as much as I can hold.
If I feel some needs be said, I say it and I'm bold.
I do not fear reprisal in any form or shape;
And if by chance it happened, why I would stand agape.
My clothes are not the very best as is most of my stuff.
I need not hang my head in shame, I have more than enough.
I go where I want to go, do what I want to do,
And if I do not get my way, then I start feeling blue.
We're spoiled rotten in this land, God has blessed us greatly.
The least of our amenities, to others seem quite stately.
So thank You God for what You`ve done.
Words just cannot say,
How grand to have You in my life.
Come in My Lord, please stay.
