Gratitude

When I wake in the morning

and I don’t know what to do

I open my mind and I open my heart

Then I thank God for you

When the words won’t come

and there is much to be done

I know that I will be ok

I sit very still and open my soul

as I live, breathe and pray

I wonder where my life is headed

I hope I do not fail

I trust my God and I trust my faith

Sometimes I want to bail

When I doubt myself

or my purpose on earth

When I haven’t got a clue

I look in my heart

where love got its start

I smile and thank God for you

The value of my life on earth

is not measured in silver or gold

It is in the love I share with others around

as I watch my life unfold

I am living my life in faith

One step at a time

I am embracing my presence

Here on this earth

I am strengthened as I climb

I am traveling through the mountains

The valleys and the seas

I am letting go of all the hurts

And releasing the need to please

When my life seems empty

and I wonder what do I have to give?

I know that I am supported and loved

I am learning lessons as I live

I am opening up my Heart

I am opening up my Soul

I am opening my life

to a new way of being

I know that I am already whole

You see me as I am

There is nothing I need to do

I want you to know

You have touched my Heart

I thank God for you.
