by
a big comfy bed soft pillow for my head satin pjs in blue awaking anew
an abundance of food a choice for every mood sweet tea in a tall glass quenching my thirst at last
having fun, taking a break laughing 'til my sides ache a ball game, catching a flick friends to share these things with
the smell of the ocean sound of waves in motion bright blue sky all around the seashells that I found
the splendor of the mountains the Kansas City fountains crossing the Mississippi places that are new to me
the thrill of competition a team on a mission persevering to the end giving our all to win
a competitive edge piercing eyes flashing red a body trained for war helmet, shield, and sword
time with those whom I love sharing in our God above nothing hidden, all is known no need to fear, love is shown
rejoicing in the Lord delighting in His Word receiving His love and grace awaiting sight of His face

I really enjoyed your poem and was thanking the Lord right along with you for all that He has given me .
