my goal was to write a poem a day
in honor of national poetry month
yes those were my intentions
as life would have it
i cannot keep up the momentum
i had some medical issues and
my mind was not completely focused
and i am in the process of packing
as he has answered another prayer
i'm still so amazed and overwhelmed
at his undeniable favor upon my life
he continually shows me that
i am indeed the apple of his eye
my life shines as bright as the sun
and my heart spills over with gratitude
i have put all of my trust in him
as i long to see him face to face
not just to say a thank you or
to weep and bow in adoration
not because the test results came
back negative for cancer
and not because he allows me
to live out my dreams on the water
not because he saved my children
and my granddaughters
and not because he is a faithful
companion who meets my every need
i simple want to thank him for loving
me and keeping every written promise
yes just a simple thank you for
being a God who cares for me
