Life

By Dawn Waite

Life is a precious gift Given from God above.

Embrace it, Love it, Live it.

Glide with it like the wings of a dove.

Live it with zest, happiness and love.

Don’t waste it with drugs, alcohol and such,

For it’s a precious gift from above

That holds so very, very much.

When you see someone low and crying,

Don’t walk away! Take a Stand!

Give a hug, a smile, a word of encouraging.

Put your arm out and give a hand.

My Mother and Dad said a statement years ago,

And to remember it whoever life leads you to go

“Put God first in all you do and say

And everything else will fall into place and stay.

Next, come family, friends, and yourself.

After this remember your job or work,

For this provides the things for living.

But always remember God will provide your needs

Don’t forget others-be giving. “

Life is a journey, we all must go

With obstacles, challenges, changes, decisions ---- and woes.

For here is a phrase told to me long ago

For you to remember and know

“Your life lies before you

Like a field of pure white snow

Be careful how you trod it, For every step will show.”

So provide on life’s journey

With God. Love in your heart,

And know He will be with you,

Always from the very start.
