Life in a Day


 

Life in a Day
The sunrise of Life's where it all begins
The Light starts to glow and nature grins
With soft gentle beauty and the song of a bird
We awake with such Hope from what we just heard

So young and so new we progress with the day
We eat, play and nap, listening to all that they say
The sun keeps rising shining its Light for all
Listening and Learning we head its call

This part of the day's filled with exploring and fun
We grow and we learn as we follow the sun
Each experience we have brings us farther along
Building our bodies and Faith to be strong

Don't look now but I think it's high noon
This day is progressing much too soon
Working and playing the day seems to fly
Filled full we forget to look to the sky

There are clouds and rain as our day does progress
Yet through it all we find Hope, Peace and Happiness
This day has been full yet there is so much more
The body gets tired but the soul wants to soar

The sky changes colors as the sun starts to set
Reflections of what we've done and those we have met
We share more of ourselves as our  day starts to end
It is wisdom, forgiveness and good wishes we send

This time of Life we look High Above
To see the sunset, given to us with Love
For at the day's end with such color and hue
God shows His Promise, that all will be new

So we end Life's day not with fear and sorrow
But with Love, Hope and Joy of our Promised tomorrow
Live your day open as you keep your heart
Then you will find comfort as the sun departs

No one knows how long is their day
Have Forgiveness and Gratitude come what may
Interacting with others and sharing with Love
Soar like an eagle on the wings of a dove

Life in a Day is how we should live
Enjoying it all and with Thanks we can give
Live with Love and Compassion and you will see
From sunrise to sunset you were all you could be

Life has a way of getting away from us sometimes. We get pulled in many directions, many projects going on and due at once, etc.... Then when things settle down.. swish.... time has flown bye right before your eyes...
I am done with some projects that were due and of course there will be others to take their place, but the pen is back in my hand and papers are being filled again.

Thank you for your thoughts, prayers and concerns during my absence from  blog-land. I am well and have been but let the business of life take away my love for writing for a while...  So here I go again...

Life
 Just when you think you're balanced
Life can turn chaotic in an snap
Seems all the ducks go out of their row
And you have a mess in your lap

Sometimes it's just one big Thing
at others it's many little ones
That wreak havoc in your daily  life
A revolving door that  always runs

At times I feel I'm on top of the world
at others the worlds on me
It's when I look too far ahead
That I trip over what I don't see

When I focus on too many things
It's hard to finish them all
So I put aside those that can wait
And work on the more urgent call

While focusing on the journey of life
Don't forget what brought you here
Is the search for a  foundation
A Source that makes life so dear

In each moment and each step we take
There are lessons that can teach
Getting beyond the hardships in life
We must always learn to reach

To slow down the pandemonium
Breathe deep and let go of fear
Trust in something Greater than you
And keep track of all that is dear

Try not to always follow the crowd
Instead go after suns shine
Then look and listen and investigate
Take it all in and you'll be fine

Listen to your true heart of hearts
It will tell you which way to go
Let go of fear and negativity
And your inner Light will grow

Keep traveling on your journey
Right through its trials and strife
Take that step out of yesterday
Follow the Light into a good life

Inner Peace is not an outside job
It starts from deep within
Find Faith in True Love and Light
Then watch your Life Begin
