A Poem For Trailblazers of a New Day

(sometimes  doggy is just too much! What a lot of laughter she has brought to our lives)

Whether in the lightness that laughter brings

or not, we are cupped in the Hands

of He with whom nothing is impossible

There is nothing new in this poem, 

but somehow even the things we know

need repeating and reminding now and then. 

Wishing you a glorious day!

The dawn of new day flickers where the wick of morn is lit

Where Mercy’s fount is quickened and faith rejoices in it

Where Time plants feet on virgin soil and draws ajar a door

Where none, with lofty dreams or toil has ever been before

Where age-old passions wait to try and disappointment hails

And God still cares for you and I with love that never fails

The birth of what is waiting breaks through gates no latchkey locks

It shimmers on a million lakes and highlights hollyhocks

It glistens in rhinestones of rain and diamonds made of dew

And pours in glorious ‘try again’ to tots like me and you

Where by the good old golden rule we meet our fellowman

And *vow to keep our cool when things don’t go the way we plan

This day the Lord sets free is like a gift to one and all

That grants us opportunity to heed His tender call

Where none have seen or been, therefore nobody can foretell

What good or ill will spill before eventide tolls its bell

But come-what-may of joy or strife, this Truth abides, dear friend

The God who grants this day, this life, is faithful to the end

*This fresh morning has already produced a few stresses

with the potential of more to come 

(click link for reason for this potential

because we have a niece getting married today!)😅

...but I am as ready as I can be to help in the

seemingly inevitable mad dash preceding the delight

of planting my derierre on a chair

 and breathing 'we made it, thank-you Lord'!

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, 

 mind is stayed on thee: 

because he trusteth in thee.

Isa.26:3
