I Praise and Thank Jesus

In thy heart of a gentle lady,

Different paths, dreams, and ideas.

Feelings of confusion so closed eyed,

Praying a prayer to whomever releases fears.



Path after path and turn after turn,

Looking into faces of my life long dreams.

Trying hard to be as bright as the sun,

Wishing some of all is not what it seems.



Life long dreams so vivid and colorful,

Welcoming me with total comfort.

Livable as life is and always,

Forever knowing anything but effort.



Forever he stands by my side,

Even when it seems he's not there.

I really have no doubts,

That Jesus really does care.



I praise and thank him for everything,

Even for the small things.

I know I don't do that very often,

And there are a lot of songs I need to sing.



I will always praise and thank him,

If not in my mind-in my heart.

I thank him for the use of my body,

For I wouldn't have one if not for him.



I know that I sometimes do wrong,

But, I pray that he will keep me right.

So, I hope he remembers my praise and thanks,

Through the poems that I write.
