I Have This Day

I Have This Day

I have this day to smell the roses
And feel the wind against my face
To bask in God's warm sunlight
And to feel my family's sweet embrace.
I have this day to view the ocean
And stand upon the shore
To ponder all the mysteries
That eternity has in store.
I do not take it lightly
And always when I pray
I thank the Lord in Heaven
That I have this day!
And when the day is over
And the sun indeed has set
I thank Him for the morning
That I have not seen as yet.
And if I should rise upon the morrow
And have yet another day
Then it is just another blessing
That the Good Lord sent my way.
Thena Smith

This reminds me of that old song we used to sing in Church, "This is the Day that the Lord Has Made" I love that old song. I love the lines:
And when the day is over
And the sun indeed has set
I thank Him for the morning
That I have not seen as yet.

Loved it. That is my type of poetry.
God Bless. Jan
