PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I sit by by window looking out at the rain
thanking God for a beautiful day again.
The rain brings me peace and time to dream.
To wonder what He has in store for me-
the companion I yearn for,
a day free from pain.

To dream about my life I have already lived,
the blessings He has brought,
the lessons I have often had to be taught.
I wonder if I can live my life to be worthy of Him
and if I can live up to what He wants us to be.
I dream about the halcyon days of my childrens young days
and the pleasure it brought,
I remember looking into their young eyes
so trusting and full of love,
these beautiful babies my blessings from above.
I wonder if I did everything I could to raise them right
to teach them to be good.
I look at them now these strong young men and women
going through the pain and joy I was given
and pray for them that they succeed
in the mission they have been given--
the raising of children to become the next generation
to be given God's blessings and wisdom
to someday sit in a chair looking out
out of their window thanking God for a beautiful day
and thinking, dreaming, and wondering
what the rest of their days will bring to them
and being grateful for the life they have lived.
