"A Promise"

Magestic trees reaching skyward

Towards the sun above

To maybe touch the hand of God

And be glorified forever more.

Beautiful flowers that bloom

Year after year,

Always bringing joy

To God's sight and smell.

That's what I want to be

When I am reincarnated.

To live a thousand years

And be blessed by Him.

There's nothing more satisfying

Than to be a sparkle in His eyes.

To know God loves me

And that I love Him.

If I live to be one hundred

I know I'll never be as perfect

As the trees and flowers

God has made.

But I will strive

To be the person

He wants me to be

And live my life to His purpose.

This I promise myself

And not be selfish.

I'll share my feelings

With any one who listens.
