Shining Fruits From a Solid Tree

Shining Fruits From A Solid Tree As I rest on this high mountaintop blessings come, they never stop All my family are blessings to me shining fruits from a solid tree The clouds parting early each dawn sunshine on flowers on the lawn Looking closer I am content to see smooth waves upon my family sea Whenever this life sends some bad I reflect on blessings I've had Bow my head and settle in to pray good Lord, thank you for every day As my time for leaving comes near I stand in faith not abject fear Seeing my family in heaven my goal praying God's mercy on every soul As I rest on this high mountaintop blessings come, they never stop All my family are blessings to me shining fruits from a solid tree Robert J.

The mountain top is a good place to put things in perspective..I enjoyed reading this work that is a testimony to faith..Thanks for dropping by my work "I Care"..I have finished it and went in a different direction with it if you care to read the finished work..Sara
