Around Me

The whisper amongst the chaos,
The chill on a blistering hot day,
The tap on the shoulder whilest alone,
The drops of rain on a sunny day,
The blossoms in the midst of a snowstorm,
The taste of food upon the lips in poverty.

A passing grade in a challenging class,
Arriving on time after getting stuck in traffic,
Cool water after a hard and trying workout,
Great sleep after a long day.

Standing amidst the birds of the sky,
Swimming with the fish in the depth of the seas,
Walking amongst the four-legged friends,
Laying in the grass observing the insects,
Noticing the sun catching the spiders and their webs so magnificently.

Aware and observing God's magnificent creations,   
Loving life and all the blessings God gives,
Receiving the joy and love and happiness the day brings,
Perfectly content to be alive and well.

God is here and ever so present,
I am in His embrace,
He is indeed all around me,
Showering me with grace.
