A day of delight
When I woke this morning, much too early,
I recalled being whip thin and rebarb strong
My convictions were strong and right always
I knew the way and I was tormented by those who didn't
Long ago in a youthful life
Now my steel is rusted and frayed like old fabric
And I know how much I do not know
But, unlike then, I take delight in each sunrise
And smile at each moon set
I love the life I have now
And I could not say that long ago
I would not have admitted that there was a reason
To love the life of each day
And feel the presence of the truth of God
