GRACIOUS SPLENDOR

Reflecting:  Enjoy whatever your "gracious splendor" is.  You will have more of those days, take advantage of them.  Relax, take pictures, write in a diary and enjoy your gracious splendor, so that you can look back one day to see how far you have come.

GRACIOUS SPLENDOR

I sit here in gracious splendor,
Total amazement causes me to wonder.

Why am I so lucky, I say?
As I look out my window at this lovely day.

It didn't come easy, this life of mine,
I paid a heavy price for this day so fine.

I wouldn't want to do it this way again,
I would choose a different way for my life to begin.

I learned who I was along this path,
I wish I could have avoided much of the wrath.

But to each lesson is hopefully learned,
As we trip and stumble and we get burned.

Because of the heavy price I had to pay,
I appreciate this beautiful sunny day.

While I've earned this gracious splendor along the way,
It still causes me amazement, I would surely say.
