a life of purpose

untitled

the road has been weary- impassable some days
and such weariness can blind
blind us to blessings bestowed
hide from us the hallelujahs of life
so it is with fervent prayer we must find perspective
a higher vantage point that reveals reality

let us not simply strive for survival
or focus on merely finishing
let us not live each day void of any real sense of life
to not notice the days' events
-to merely complete one to start another-
that strips our existence of purpose and joy,
steals from our God the opportunity to bless

so with renewed perspective, let us rise each day
with determination to receive every moment
to notice each hiccup, happening and heartache
to breathe in every evidence of our God
committed to truly live the days we are granted
no longer blind, but wide-eyed

eyes open to the energy of more than existing
hearts ready to receive the many blessings of God
