This Morning I awoke,
In awe of the day.
Even tho it is cloudy out,
I am happy that I'm alive.
I have no illness yet,
And I pray I never do.
Although I am past my prime,
I still feel a little young.
My mind does play tricks,
As I try to do certain things.
I'm not as young as I usd to be,
And my body does tell me so.
Life's troubles I have had,
But now I am settled.
It's the world I worry about now,
And all it's times of woes.
I wonder how long,
God will let us stay.
I fear the time is near,
Or changes must be made.
All I can do is pray,
That God Blesses us again.
I am only one person,
And He hasn't clued me in.
So I go on and hope,
That another day arrives.
And I will be in awe again,
To see sunshine or clouds.
Each and every day is a wonder,
For I know it means one thing.
God has granted me and you,
Another day's stay.
