The Fullness That Will Last

Have you ever seen the morning
when it is fresh and new
prompting your eyes to view colors
of rich and various hues
____
that change ever so swiftly now
upon clouds bathed in sun
turning the skies into glory
like time had just begun
____
to experience life as a gift
full of potential bliss
God has given man certain days
not any should we miss
____
by being ungrateful or morbid
complaining of the day
when there is so much to live for
when God can have His way
____
for any day spent above ground
is good and should be blessed
rejoicing in the God above
that we can have His rest
____
by trusting in His providence
that all is well with soul
for what we think that we might lack
His presence makes us whole
____
and when the day shall end complete
with richness in its past
one knows that one has walked with God
in fullness that will last
