Blessed

Here is a glimpse into my creative writing ...

Blessed

By Matthew Ryan Napier 2009

In my waking life I seek those things

I picture in my head

When my mind begins to wander

As I lay down in my bed

And as I drift away to sleep

My dreams begin to play

Like a movie I have seen before

Yet, this time ends a different way

Cuz constantly I'm changing

Each day I awake a brand new man

So in the past when I've said, "I can't"

Today may bring "I can"

And when the outside world is gray

And all the smiles have faded

I remind myself to rise above

For I refuse to wind up jaded

And even though in my recent past

I've faced trials and tribulation

I keep my faith in the Lord above

To find love and jubilation

And the one thing I have come to know

In times of suffering pain and strife

Is in the end how blessed we are

To live this thing called life
