Scott Biehl Poet Sonnet

The Gift

When I awake the first thing I say
Thanks Oh Lord for this blessed day
Today is a gift that is for sure
One to enjoy and not just endure

Be sure you embrace what life has to give
For it is your choice in the one that you live
Make yourself the person you want to be
Not the one in the mirror you don't wish to see

For each day starts out one and the same
But it's how we live it that scores the game
The only way to know if you gave it your all
Is to make sure you had a chance to stumble and fall

Tonight when you reflect back on how the day went
Be thankful of the gift and how it was spent
