WHEN YOU AWAKE
Every morning you awake there are blessings to be found,
Even if it’s something small like the birds sweet sound,
To live and breath even if in pain is a rich blessing too,
Another day to progress until your life’s journey is through.
The blessings of loved ones, friends and a home,
The ability to see the beauty around as you do roam,
The sound of laughter or the wind blowing in the trees,
The way they sway and dance in the evening breeze.
The ability to smile and your eyes still shine so very bright,
Knowing of the gospel with it’s eternal truths and light,
To never walk in darkness for we now know the right way,
Yes, there are many blessings when we awake every day.
