Every Day

We wake to a new day
open wide our eyes
to watch children playing
hear winds that sigh

be glad of this morning
life we have here
as joy rings to heart
to leave  laughing a cheer

for shining so brightly
these days each arise
filled  sunny in warmth
to make happy these cries

viewed is a beauty
a love all hearts need
felt are these pleasures
this hope that will lead

to new breaths in future
the coming of nights
a freshness each morning
bathed in natures pure light

golden beams spred
stretching warm over skies
to brush gently our faces
bond sweet these ties

drawn from the depths
the moment were born
as life is recycled
our innosence torn

the taken are blessed
replaced by the new
in  seasons of change
saved are these few

the blessing we have
are earned with years
then placed in a vile
as life breeds fear

who then rules
the shadowy fears
or hearts full of joy
minds that are clear

we all are blessed
this life we'll live
with love from others
all who will give
