The world is still the same

Bright and beautiful

Would that my eyes forever see

The blessings hiding

In each moment

Around every corner

I believe, the best is yet to be!

I trust every dawn to come

With hopes

In the blush of the rising sun

And wait with a grateful heart

For treasures

That God hides behind every turn

For those smiles born out of tears

For every victory

For my steps that never falter

I thank thee

For all that I have in times of need

Let my heart never turn to greed

For every joy that I receive

Let my soul humbly bow in prayer

And find ways to share

And to care

Till the last of my breath is consumed

Let me have the strength to give.

In joy. In sadness. In strife. And in peace.
