In the morning light, a wish unfolds,
May your day be adorned with moments untold.
Smiles like petals, in your path they lay,
A lovely, beautiful day, enjoy every ray.

I am the captain of a ship named Soul
I Sailed my ship aimselly to and fro

With no charting of where to sail
I found myself in a stormy gail

The sales became tattered and torn
The crew became tired and forlorn 

Running aground on the sharp rocks
Surely no more time left on our clocks 

I prayed to the Great I AM I am in Your Hands
A voice look to the East, and you shall see
I AM on that Great Galleon to save thee

Never again becoming the Captain of My Broken Soul
Sundering the sailing to, The I AM who rescued My Soul

In the tapestry of time, a man named Jesus,
No servants at beck, yet Master they confess.
No scholarly degree adorning His name,
Yet Teacher, they acclaim, in wisdom's flame.

No potions or medicines at His decree,
Healer, they hail, by the shores of Galilee.
No armies marshaled beneath His reign,
Yet kings tremble, His presence their bane.

No battles on fields with swords unfurled,
Yet the world conquered by love, in an otherworldly swirl.
No crime to stain His hands so divine,
Yet on a cross, the sacrificial sign.

In a tomb, His earthly vessel lay,
Yet, risen, He lives, dawn of eternity's day.
Greatest man in history, a paradox profound,
Jesus, the name in grace forever crowned.

I am a bound prisoner of my soul
My reckless life is out of control

Everywhere I turn, there is no end
How do I change? Where do I begin

One step at a time, I was told
By doing this, I will be in control

Not having the power to begin
I asked God’s Son Jesus to come in

There is power in His Love sent from above
Thank You, God. I will never walk alone again

In life's brisk journey, a moment to seize,
Pause in the whispers of rustling trees.
Breathe in the essence of moments untold,
Let gratitude bloom, a treasure to hold.

The greatest gift, a pause in the stream,
A canvas of gratitude, a tranquil dream.
Heartbeats sync with a thankful refrain,
In stillness, a sanctuary where joy remains.

Glimmering echoes of moments divine,
Gift yourself gratitude, a gem to enshrine.
Amidst the rush, find solace in the art,
For the greatest gift is a grateful heart.

In the tapestry of time, where memories stay,
Those we love, in our hearts find their way.
They walk beside us, in a silent ballet,
Unseen, unheard, yet not far away.

Whispers of love linger in the air,
In every moment, they're always there.
A presence unseen, a comforting cheer,
Still loved, still missed, eternally near.

Though gone from sight, their essence remains,
A symphony of love that forever sustains.
In the echoes of laughter, in moments sincere,
Very dear, always cherished, always near.

Beneath the ancient desert sun's golden spell,
Lies the tale of Abraham and his well.

A source of life in arid, endless sand,
Where Abraham's footsteps left their imprint, grand.

Waters whispered secrets, cool and deep,
A promise in the silence, ancient and steep.

Abraham's well, a timeless connection,
A story etched in nature's introspection.

Camels gathered, their thirst relieved,
As tales of old were in the water conceived.

In the well's reflection, history entwined,
A haven of hope in the vast design.

Wellspring of tales from ages past,
Abraham's legacy in each drop cast.

Through shifting dunes and timeless swell,
Endures the echo of Abraham's well.

"Sovereign Lord," the faithful soul declares,
Fulfillment found in answered prayers.
As promised, peace descends like a dove,
Dismissed in serenity, wrapped in divine love.
