Every second I’m alive.
Help me to always see the joy
Through the tears in my eyes.
Help me to be thankful
For all that I have,
All that I am,
And all that I can be.
Each second in each day
Is an opportunity for a miracle,
For a smile,
A hug,
A prayer or praise.
Laughter or sorrow,
Carefree or deep in thought,
Every second is one I could die.
Every second is one I could use to serve the Lord,
To save lives,
Or to fall to earthly standards.
Every second
Has potential beyond belief,
Beyond imagination.
Thank you, Lord,
And always remind me
To be grateful for all that there is,
And all that there will be one day.
Age 16
