Life

Life is too short for us to live it buried                                                                         
beneath heaps of cares and woes                                                           
There will not always be something to smile about
And sometimes a tear will fall.
Sometimes there will be laughter
and immeasurable joy.
We have to try to see the good
In each day that comes along
We must always count our blessings
And remember always to give thanks.
For tomorrow to no man is promised
It is today that we must cherish
and enjoy every moment before it slips away.

 

As I Am

I come to You on bended knees,
With crumbled hopes not meant to be.
I come to You when tired and sore
And when my heart cannot endure

The pain I feel, the pressure great
And there You are! I never wait!
No matter where, no matter when,
You pick me up time and again.

If broken, torn, discouraged, sad
You are the friend I’ve always had!
You brush me off and help me stand;
You cherish me just as I am.
