23^RD YEAR IN THE JOURNEY

Woke up feeling grateful…

Something is definitely beautiful

About the first day of March

It’s my birthday!

Each one of these beautiful days

Makes me feel excited and whole,

With a tinge of sadness in my heart,

Reminding me that am getting ole…

Sometime I wonder how grannies feel

Wrinkled, weak and shaky,

Knowing that a place in the grace waits to fell

Well, am still young and hale,

With long years in front of me

But, as these years run, I may get frail.

It’s a journey.

Limbs get tired from running…

Voices get cracked from cheering…

Eyes get weakened from dazzles

Still one remains fresh..

One thing gives assurance.

One thing gives smiles.

It’s the accomplishment of purpose

It’s the achievement of the essence of your presence

Dear God, when I become old and fragile,

I want to smile broadly.

I don’t want to just exist.

I want to fulfill a need.

Make me a blessing to all

In words and in deeds.

Teach me to number my days,

And live everyday as my last…

Not holding back the love to share,

Or holding back the love to share,

Or brooding over my past,

But believing in each second…

With courage to do and act

More selflessly and sacrificially

Looking past my weakness and beyond

Forgive me for all the wrong paths I took…

Place my feet back on your narrow path…

I really want to make an impact!!!

It’s my 23^rd year on ‘this’ journey

Thank you all I have achieved…

Yes, in another year, I will be glad,

Knowing that I have touched more souls,

Grown closer to you,

And finished chapters of my purpose

In Jesus’ name, Amen!
