Ceaseless, overnight rain
Early morn’s swollen creek
Flowing outside its bank
Nature ready to tweak
Smaller tributaries
Never to be left out
Gathering their volume
Flood’s growing runabout
Cloud’s river of moisture
Lengthy, not finished yet
Forecasting gloomy skies
Weather’s headlines typeset
Sun planning its comeback
But not for day or two
Waiting with humble song
Nature croons springtime blues
Facing life’s challenges
Decisions needing to be made
Stepping with confidence
No longer feeling afraid
Listening to own heart
Negative thoughts fading away
Taking positive steps
No longer leading astray
Flexing new attitude
Tomorrow inviting fresh start
Letting yesterday go
No longer filling sad heart
Leaving darkness behind
Choices finding healthy outlets
Loving new direction
No longer bringing regrets
With the right attitude and a willingness to pay the price, almost anyone can pursue nearly any opportunity and achieve it.

Giving thanks to God
His mighty deeds
Singing with praises
Spirit shall lead
Seeking God’s wisdom
His steadfast hand
Offering mercy
Across this land
Recalling God’s works
His love transforms
Trusting righteousness
Throughout each storm
Praying before God
His sacred Word
Sharing gratitude
Voice always heard
Walking with God’s grace
By faith alone
Keeping his statutes
Life’s firm backbone
Observing God’s strength
Joy singing out
Shaping attitude
Heart never doubts

Dreaming of tomorrow’s steps
Opportunities abound
Knocking now on hope’s doorstep
Unwavering faith aground
Staying awake and alert
Opportunities waiting
Willing spirit to assert
Seeing Father creating
Counting each heavenly star
Opportunities shining
Searching each earthly bazaar
Lauding Father’s designing
Taking more time to observe
Opportunities praising
Fulfilling notice to serve
Accepting grace . . . amazing!
