To Bloom a Wake of Smiles
Virginia Salter

Morning of a new day
possibilities arise
to write one’s history
one step at a time

Will my history bloom
as the future passes by
what may lie ahead
as the past ticks on behind

Might there be a wake of smiles
or tears that bleed concern
might hope toughen my foundation
as faith more surely burns

Will my lips confess a love
that flows from my Sweet Lord
will my hands be open wide
not clenched as ‘round a sword

In Your will, may I stand
seeking to listen more than speak
as each hour You give, unfolds,
help me, true, Your Word to seek.

Wonderful work, it flowed very well.

I admire your skill a great deal.

Good poem and I think we all would like to leave a "wake of smiles". Effective phraseology.

This is one prayer I'm saying with you.

<*\\\><

I know not what the future holds,
but I know Who holds the future.

I don't question YOUR existance - GOD
