Day’s outlook, full of delight
Never empty, always half full
Another day, taking flight
Tasting life with every spoonful
Journey receives cherished gifts
Each experience overflows
Another sunrise uplifts
Witnessing one more tender rose
Unsung people, work each day
Vivacious, energized with life
Another hour’s sweet ballet
Cooperating, without strife
Marked with every sunset’s wink
Never empty, always half full
Precious life remains in sync
Filling another cup, brimful
Our attitude
Letting go, yesterday’s past
Enjoying each daily quest
Freshly written page to last
Our individuality
Allowing self to shine through
Hanging on to every strength
Life now ready to renew
Our character
Practicing Lord’s “Golden Rule”
Sharing kindness with others
Day’s always shining jewel

Reflecting love through actions

Life is relationships; the rest is just details.
If a man truly wants to communicate with his wife, he must enter her world of emotions.
Gary Smalley (1940-2016) was an American family counselor and best-selling author. His writings focus on family and marriage from a Christian perspective.
From James 4:6: “But He gives all the more grace; therefore it says, ‘God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.'”
Our Creator’s divine plan
Offers fullest, living grace
Giving patience, just in case
When running life’s anxious race
Our Lord shares forgiveness
Relationships need healing
Forgiving sin, just in case
When each day seems freewheeling
Heaven’s Father, sharing peace
Imperfect lives needing change
Trimming each branch, just in case
When roaming lost on God’s range
God shares His timely wisdom
From Heaven, He sees us fall
Touching our hand, just in case
When we need His hope-filled call
From John 15:1-2: “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinegrower. He removes every branch in me that bears no fruit. Every branch that bears fruit He prunes to make it bear more fruit.”
This poem was inspired by Lisa’s post where she shares a series of brilliant and encouraging quotes about friendship. Take a moment and visit her post at The Road Back to Life.
Destiny unites true friends
Transforming life with its spark
Sincere friendship fills two hearts
Never alone in the dark
Never take friends for granted
Honesty, laughter, and tears
Staying connected insures
Treasures shared over the years
Sharing life’s pain, healing wounds
Long-lasting friendship endures
Glue holding life together
Truly caring, reassures
Always count on each other
Offering silent support
“Forever minutes” share love
Caring never falling short
Life travels through forest trails
Friends together, all these years
Brings us home through darkest times
Greatest love when friendship cheers
From Proverbs 18:24: “Some friends play at friendship but a true friend sticks closer than one’s nearest kin.”
