Better Days

Better Days

Many days I have woken up disappointed
I always felt something was missing
like I was living a life of no meaning,
but not today, not for the past year.

My days felt redundant and pointless,
my nights were filled with dreams of something more.
I would wake up and realize my dreams were just that,
but no longer do I need dreams to lift me up.

I wake up with new eyes and new meaning
my days are filled with pride, my nights are restful.
When I am away I look forward to getting back
When I am home I cherish the moments.

My life began the same day yours did
my dreams are reality and my life has meaning.
I see peace and beauty in your eyes,
I feel Gods glory in your smile.

I am living in better days.

Ah yes, the joys of being a father - beautifully captured and relayed here, Joshua. Nice job. Joe
