A Morning Prayer

 A Morning Prayer

Cliff Holmes

I awoke this morning with my usual aches and pains,
but I was thankful that today there is no rain.

I smiled and said, “Good morning, Lord;
I’ll be looking to you for a good word.

You know Lord that life isn’t always fair,
but the joy I find in You there is none to compare.

So, dear God, Let me live a life tried and true,
totally and completely devoted to you.

Yes, life is not always easy and often seems unfair,
but I will live this day rejoicing, held in Your tender care.”
