When You Awaken
Return, O my soul, to your tranquility,
for the LORD has been good to you
–Psalm 116:7
It’s a good day
when you awaken
alive and able.
Thank God for the present,
a gift of another day.
As my Mama liked to say,
probably still likes to say --
sewing and singing
up there in Heaven.
Use this moment
wisely, she'd remind.
Keep the faith.
When the evening comes
thank God for His gift,
a day well spent.
May God bless us as we sleep,
and awaken us to yet
another day.
