Thanks Living ~
Have you noted,
how dark shades of
night
Complement the
dawn of light,
How misty moving
shadows
Give a different
slant on sight.
Have you watched
when coal-black
skies
Reveal the glowing
stars,
And felt the chill
of frosty air
Compounding warmth
of heart.
Have you observed,
how being ill
Awakens walking as
a thrill,
And why saddest
deprivation
Discloses what is
'filled.'
Have you grieved
how war cries
freedom
As fear reveals
what's safe,
While hate,
discloses love
That we so dearly
crave.
Have you detected,
bitter things
Grant us the joy
of sweet,
How rough,
unpleasant poverty
Magnifies a tender
treat.
Have you perceived
deception
Manifesting what
is right,
And death, within
this world
Demanding, where
is life.
The Lord is
calling out,
breakthrough
For thanks-living
here to find,
By granting, such
divergence
His heart, is only
kind.
We can but thank
Him for the wisdom
As our hearts seek
to adapt,
To know the joy,
in great or small
When life is
filled with
thanks.
Soft whispers from
Derry's Heart

"Our hearts will
be protected
from becoming hard
as clay,
if we but breathe
thanks-living
as the love of
each new day"
