Not Too Late...

 Let's give today our all 

With pure joy, like a child

And if we trip and fall

Let's get back up and smile

Let's reach for fruit, astute

Ah, like we know we should

So when seeds drop and start to root

It's harvest will be good

Life is a fine balance of 'don't sweat the small stuff' and 'in love, the little things are the big things'.

My how often the 'little' challenges the 'big'!

It’s not too late to try again

Oh, do not live this day in vain

My love, the love of God sustains

Though word and deed have slipped awry

His grace forgives if we repent

Hope lives in spite of ways sad-spent

Today is not The Last Judgement

His mercy grants another try

It’s not too late to try once more

The gateway to Forevermore

Is barred; Far East swings wide a door

Unveiling a new day of grace

Then, to honor He who supplants

Rebel-replies with one more chance

Let’s give our best to He who grants

Patience and hope to human race

It’s not too late for one more shot

To give it all that we have got

We owe more than defeated thought

To He who gives more than we earn

So then, lest we yield to despair

Or buckle ‘neath life’s load of care

Let’s start this new day with a prayer

Then trust to God each twist and turn
