Thursday Thoughts of Thanks on Friday...

It’s not always easy

Life’s struggle and stumble

Yet it’s these imperfections

Which help keep us humble

***

Sink to your chin

In a tub full of bubbles

Tomorrow is waiting

With a new set of troubles…

***

We cannot edit moments

They sift through our embrace

Ephemeral deliverance

Forever etched in place

So we should treat its mercy

With grateful, utmost grace

These drops soon paint a picture

That no one can erase

***

Equipped with God’s promises

Beautiful stead

We have within us

Everything we need

***

God bless the happiness of noise

And never-ending mess of toys

And heaven’s best; our little boys

 

***

Nature inspires and comforts the heart…

Each day is a canvas of Masterpiece art

***

…But no matter how many miracles fall

Babies are surely the sweetest of all

***

In the muddle of laundry and toast crumbs and such

I’ve felt the beautiful, breath-taking touch

Of something that leaves me full-speechlessly stirred

In heavens too holy for commonplace word

***

This is a Friday unlike any other

Treasure its gifted refrain

For this special Friday of virgin allotment

Will never be granted again!
