This Day

This Day

I opened my eyes out of sleep

Another untried day is before me 

Will I take it on boldly or listen 

It tantalizingly speaks to me saying, 

"You didn't choose this day

I chose you for it

Will you live this day like none before

Bodily changes equiped you for this and more

You will enter new frontiers, reach new horizons

Live the true meaning of your existence

Experience your purpose in His presence

Your being is no accident in this scene

This day begs you to live as no one else can

It reaches out, takes you by the hand

Clears your head as you get out of bed

Escaped the cold icy grip of death by sleep

No mean task accomplished, a soul not keep

This day, this gift all wrapped up

Untried, alluringly, begs to be released  

Should I unwrap it, irisistently peek inside

So eager am I to look, emotions can't hide

Maybe if I place my ear, close enough to hear 

Somethings in there, await to be manifest

A voice speaks beyond my senses, says I care

Wrapped up in this day are your tests

This day, another's gift, unlike mines

Awaits to be opened, to see what they'll find

They're chosen for it, to open, to live it

Thought in eternity manifested to reveal it

It finally dawn on me, this day

Before my conception, many days came 

They went their purposeful way 

None like the other, none the same 

After this life, living each day, unlike this day

Those coming after, what will say?

Will they hear, will they know my name? 

Be found in Him, Whose thought we came? 

On this day, I'm grateful to open my eyes from sleep, my soul He forever keep
