Lord, you've created a flower
How may I give you praise
I hold my petals upward
And accept your loving rays
You're sunshine is a blessing
It's a calming, soothing salve
I give you all the glory
Of the colors that I have
When e're you are unhappy
And your clouded eyes cry down
I recieve your saddened blessing
And I'm sorry for the crown
My thorns had no involvement
But I may have shared the deed
Forgive me Lord, and spare the next
Up and coming seed
I know the sun is coming
So I'll hold my place in line
And hope that maybe I will be
Touched by the Devine
Rockman
O, Holy Spirit, come fill my heart and enlighten every facet of my being,
that I may serve the Lord, my God, as He so desires.
Help me to be open to all the wonders of His love,
that I may share them with others.
You are divine, the Love that flows through Father and Son.
Help me to grow in your love. Amen.
You never know what may happen
What may fall and what may risen
What may come your way?
And what may go out of your way
With in a moment things can change
Though everything was in your range
You never realized and purchased everything
Even though you needed few for surviving
You thought you are right and caring
No thankfulness and no duties performing
No praying no spending on causes
Worried over a few of the losses
Though life’s gains brought up smiles
To succeed in life you traveled miles
What if death comes and you are dead
Everything you acquired will all be left
Walking hand in hand
By the distant shore
Sharing life together
Laughter once more
Talking about the good times
Forgetting about the old
Knowing in our hearts
To each we hold
Blessings we share
From day to day
Success is for sure
And, it's on the way
One chapter may be closed
One window may be opened
But, tomorrow will come
With the blesseth
Assurance of the Lord
