Many are the times we receive favor
Uncountable are the daily blessings
Filling each day with renewed grace
And abundant joy

Sometimes the urge to appreciate overflows
Causing our hands to outstretch into a big hug
Tight and secure like a mother cradling her child
Full of love and promises of a happy future

Words alone can never express the depths of our feelings
And they cannot bring out the joy that fills our hearts sufficiently
To let us be content with a thank you
Because it runs deeper that we can fathom.

I look into your golden brown eyes
As they sparkle with a penetrating look
That unlocks the chains of my heart
And cajole it to gamble with love

As I sink deeper into the sea of their beauty
Their warmth show an unbreakable promise
They promise to love forever
They beckon me into trust
That you will be mine and I’ll be yours forever
As we sink into the miasma of love together.

And then they become crowded
With this aura of uncertainty
Of taking a gamble with your heart
They reflect the pain that could be
Of the shattered hearts that can be
If the promises were broken

But the warmth and joy they radiate
Wipe all the cares away
As you will to take the gamble
And as you take me in your arms
I am purposed that we will sail through life together
Through happiness and pain
For we now understand that true love overcomes all faults.

There are times when I feel the best of me is gone with the wind
And there are moments when I feel
I’m letting go of what I believe in
When all seems in vain
And nothing works out my way
No matter the several attempts I make

These are the times I call upon the heavens
I get down to my kneels
Calling upon the Lord
Who watches marks my steps
And then I feel renewed
As I gain a new inner strength to try again

Though there are moments
When it seems fruitless to move on
When the storm seems unending
And I wonder whether I will ever mend

Yet His hand holds me close to Him
Taking me through life
Just like breathing
And my ways are rejuvenated
And surrounded by much success
As I sail through life.

I look at the distance I have walked through,
The Seas and oceans that I have crossed
And the storms that I have passed
And gasp at it all
A smile spreads across my lips
And my heart leaps with joy and praise
To His Majesty
Because He saw me through it all

Many are the times I almost gave up
But his sun lite my way
And when I was too weary to walk on
He lifted me and provided His cloud to cover me
When the thought of quitting crossed my mind
He reminded me that He is a winner
That He supplies abundantly to all who ask
And I smile again
For I know that I will make it through all storms in life.
