Life's Promises

 

     

  

 

 

 

 

Man struggles and works,
  Each waking hour
To amass a fortune,
  Fame and more power.

We've conditioned ourselves,
  To accumulate more
We call it success,
  It's a disgrace to be poor.

We lie and cheat,
  And through unopposed greed
We keep hoarding more,
  Than we'll ever need.

We stop and reflect,
  Some time in our life
If what we accomplished,
  Is worth all the strife.
 
There's so much around us,
  That GOD gives us FREE
Just open your eyes,
  And what do you see?
 
The sweet green grass,
  The sky of blue
The misty fog,
  The morning dew.
 
Majestic Mountains,
  That touch the sky
Ducks on the pond,
  And the butterfly.
 
Vast quiet deserts,
  That calm the soul
A friendly oasis,
  And its waterhole.
 
A ragging rapid,
  With its waterfall
The lonely wolf,
  And his mating call.
 
Mighty ocean waves,
  That touch the shore
The flight of an eagle,
  As he glides and soars
 
All the beautiful flowers,
  The fields of grain
A quiet walk,
  Down a country lane.
 
The land, the water,
   The air that we breathe
A winter's snowflake,
  And autumn leaves.
 
The list is endless,
  Earth's beauty abounds
Taste all of life's pleasures,
  Hear all the sounds.
 
Just stop and enjoy,
  Reach out your hand
Ask GOD to show you,
  HIS PROMISED LAND!
