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
up there in Heaven.
Use this moment wisely
and 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.
