Softer Than Fleece

I sit on my porch on this beautiful day I will become this poem prayer I now pray I have learned to enjoy the simple things in life My daughter’s smile and the love of my wife The way the leaves rustle in the morning breeze God’s music always seems to bring me such ease I love how the breeze softly kisses my face Tis’ the natural wonder of God’s embrace I have learned to love as well as learned to live You know life’s greatest joy is learning to give Give all that you are till you empty your cup Have the heart of a lion, soul of a pup The beautiful things truly cost not a dime I’m trying hard to make the most of my time So many years wasted so few left to go There are so many things that I wish to know I learn so many new things each passing day Sometimes I feel like I’m slipping away I’m trying hard to become all I can be I owe that social responsibility What this poem’s about I truly don’t know Reckon it’s just another piece of my soul A soul that has finally found itself some peace What was once a rock is now softer than fleece
