Hour Glass

When you wake
To the morning light
Just remember,
All the battles you had to fight
To get where you're at
Today and Tomorrow
For is it worth it
To go back to that sorrow.

When you go
About your day
Look around, 
And don't forget to say
Thank you Lord,
For giving me the chance
To witness the beauty
As our souls enhance.

When the sun sets
And the stars shine
Just remember,
Truth is hard to find.
The maze is deep
And the roads are wet
Follow your heart
And Heaven is where you set.

When you lie sleeping
So peacefully in your bed
God's arms surround you
Giving you strength for the day ahead.
Day by Day
And Night by Night
Our Courage and Wisdom
Is seen in God's sight!!

This is how God should be spoken of . Far too often we hear about wrath and anger . Then we talk about him as if he were something from the past , He is God and God is love . As we evolve , So does he . Well penned Trish

Thank you Darren. And yes, very true...God is Love....He has Tough Love, Tender Love, and Everlasting Love. People tend to forget the beauty and see what they want to see.

Good advice in poetic form. Just a little correction is needed in your fifth line: replace "your" with either "you're" or "you are".
