Each day presents for you a new promise ~
No matter how muddled the outlook
If
you clear the webs, you will see ~
A ray
of hope shining in an unexpected spot ~
You will gaze
at all the surroundings
and
see what you have really got!
Great! Some may say ~
That doesn’t add up to much!
Suddenly you’ll
receive a kiss:
A sweet and gentle touch . . . .
That kiss
can be a ray of hope,
which tells
of how you are loved ~
It’s
a promise of affection,
just
accept it:
A ray of love!
You are no less than the splendid trees ~
You are no less
that the radiant stars!
You are
a child of the Universe
with
a special purpose on this earth.
Purpose? You may ask . . .
I feel I’ve been defeated!
Then
close your weary eyes:
Take a deep breath and
slowly
count to three ~
Maybe when
you open them,
a
new light you will perceive!
You may spot
the ray of faith,
which
says “Please believe . . “
For you, there is a purpose
with the right to succeed!
Others
look for their daily promise ~
Expecting the rays to automatically
“Shine down on me:”
They
do not clear the webs ~
They don’t accept the kiss:
They do not see the affection;
And the rays of love they miss!
Some do not bother to close their eyes~
A slow cleansing breath to take . . .
To
pierce into the darkness ~
For that promised ray of faith!
I wonder why that is?
Then
there are those that are content
with the safety of their surroundings~
They
say, it’s all good
and in their minds they clearly see . . .
See what?
See
that they clung to the promises
and the rays that came their way ~
Now they are able to relax in a bright new day.
So ‘remember this,’ I say ~
We must never lose sight
of the promises that come to us each day.
We must absorb the fullness and
The Promise of the Ray!
