Blessed Are These Days
Each day brings the sunshine providing light to guide us through the long day
Each night brings the darkness, opening the heavens, giving us reason to pray
As the days come and go I can’t help but reflect on each one
As one’s time spent in living them can never be undone.
What we invest in each day should be our best not our least
As time wasted on hatred gives rise to the beast
Hearts filled with love provide the souls near to you with pleasure
For blessed are these days that we should covet and treasure
Life is a gift and all that surrounds us a miracle of God’s making
Each tree a masterpiece each creature unique, all equally breath-taking
Man’s journey on earth is all too short and should not be wasted
Drink it in with all your senses; it is there to be tasted
But remember that for each day that dawns and fades into gray
Care for our fellow man is the price we must pay
So reach out your hand and grasp the hand of someone in need
For blessed are these days that gave rise to your deed
