Faith & Prayer Poem: Heavenly Father
I thank you my heavenly father
For sparing me another day
I know that some may not bother
Until easy times seem to get harder
And when luck runs out they pray
I won’t sit and wait for harder days
To ask you for tomorrow’s praise
My appreciation is all yours now Lord
And each day I thank you more Lord
For what’s done and for what’s in store
From the sun to the clouds before
Everything you do has a meaning in life
And if we patiently peel to the core
Instead of a shortcut slice with a knife
We all would find that meaning inside
All the cloudy days that were previously made
Created shade that I wished would fade
But they helped me understand and appreciate
The happy and underrated sunny days
Now I measure life with a brand new gauge
Now I treasure life in a brand new way
The things I used to classify as important
Are no longer my brain’s absorbent
With you by my side I will always fly high
And you’ll always be the one I orbit
Even though life is a difficult course
I’ll never get lost behind your voice
Your sound just makes one follow
Makes one be a leader to their followers
After realizing they have no choice
I understand I’m not here for me
But for you Lord and only temporarily
This food, water, and air that I breathe
Are only parts of the strengthening seed
That you provide to keep me working
All of my time spent here is your time
And all of my glory glows by your shine
All of my thoughts are just a part of your mind
My entire life is only a part of yours
Lord, I’m here for whatever you need me for
As I continue to awake to another day
I’ll always be sure to keep you bothered
I’ll never turn to luck, I will always pray
But not just when times get harder
Because I have faith in my Heavenly Father
Amen
