Looking Back...

 

I wouldn't change anything

From the laughter to the tears.

Every little memory counts,

Every little memory makes

A year to remember.

 

Sledding with my sisters,

Baking sweet aroma and enjoying every bite.

Drawing with children

Or snuggling a sleeping little one

On my shoulder.

Fellowship with friends around

A crowded table.

Learning, and reading,

And drinking coffee to stay awake.

Flowers of sunshine on sick days.

A brothers wedding.

More sunshine for a weary heart.

The skies that radiate the glory of God

And proclaim his promises and love

From day to day.

Friends to hold me tight when tears fall fast.

Waiting on God's will.

Learning to trust him more.

Friends getting married.

A sister's wedding too.

Working hard out doors

And getting dirty.

Working along side my best friend.

Courting the man of my dreams.

Learning to be loved

And to love and to live in grace. 

A sweet friend and a waffle date.

Daisies and dandelions

And Black-eyed Susan's.

Roses,

Fragrance of love and unspeakable joy.

Sharing stories,

Sharing hearts.

Learning, failing, trying again.

More school, more reading,

Another semester done.

Learning to give thanks once more

Even through tears and fears.

Learning to trust God

In everything,

Even in the pain.

Yet still hoping and always hoping

In my King.
