EVERYDAY MIRACLES

EVERYDAY MIRACLES

Everyday miracles ~ a sky of blue

The changing of the seasons,

Walking in the park

Understanding the reasons.

Everyday miracles ~ a smile from your face

A special kind word, the touch of a hand.

Food on my table, a cosy warm bed

Seeing the way things are planned.

Every day miracles ~ a call from a friend,

Just checking to see all is fine,

Love and affection – everyday miracles

These blessings are mine.

Everyday miracles ~ kindness and trust

Tenderness and care,

Encouragement and support

Everyday miracles – so that “I dare.”

Everyday miracles – sunrise and sunset

Soft breezes on cool autumn days,

Everyday miracles – watching and seeing

The summer heat haze.

Everyday miracles – laughter and fun

Rest after weariness the wiping of tears,

Someone to share

The depth of my fears.

Everyday miracles – friends sharing

The journey I take, to hear me when I call,

Everyday miracles

Lifting me up when I fall.

Every moment should be cherished

For they are surely there,

Those everyday miracles

Around us everywhere.

THANK YOU

THANK YOU

Thank you for the love you’ve shown,

The tenderness and care.

The very many happy hours

When time and hours you share.

Thank you for the kindness

Your smile and tender touch.

All the lovely things you do

Are valued very much.

You always make me welcome

With a chat and cup of tea,

You are very special 

And very important to me.

You show your care for others

In very many ways ~

Your friendship is treasured

And brings light unto my days.

Thank you for who I am

When I spend time with you.

You help me see that days are fair,

And friends are kind and true.

Thank you for being there

And for your kindly listening ear,

For helping me to overcome

The things that bring me fear.

I think about those sheltered times

And the hours we have shared,

I remember very well indeed

Knowing that you cared.

I hope that I can be there for you

When you need someone near

I hope that I am able to dispel

The depth of all your fear.
