For This Year

Watch another sunrise in the early morn Say another prayer for children yet unborn Give my children hugs no matter what they did Never stop remembering that I was once a kid Be positive with each new day, never dwell upon the past Enjoy each and every moment as if it were my last Embrace the pain and chaos that is so prevalent these days Look at it as a blessing and seek out better ways Tomorrow may not be there so live just for today Learn to keep my mouth shut if I have nothing nice to say Eat a few more ice creams, drink a few more beers Challenge myself daily to overcome my fears Be a little kinder to the one’s who caused me pain Spread a little sunshine, take long walks in the rain Listen to more music, early rock and roll Let me touch another’s heart, let the music touch my soul Say a few more prayers for those who no longer sing Perform random acts of kindness in the name of Christ The King.
