Sometimes there are those days that I
Wish I would grow two wings and fly
Then there are times I wish instead
That I could spend all day in bed.
I’m never sure which should come first
My quest for rest or traveler’s thirst
I guess I’ll settle for the dream
That I am more than what I seem.
I’m flesh and blood and caring heart
Awaiting God’s new world to start !
Let’s thank the Lord for many things
Like sun and rain and April springs
Including all the birds that sing
And trees that host most everything,
The fields and valleys lush with life
Trails cut through forests like a knife
A night time sky that glows so bright
With stars and comets in their flight,
We thank You Lord for all these things
And all the joy Your loving brings !
The time grows short there’s no mistake
With little left, our world may break
What is the sense to carry on
With nothing more to wish upon
Except for those who hope and wait
To reach beyond life’s golden gate ?
