A SONG FOR JULY


Another month has ended.
Another chapter closed.
Dreams and plans upended.
Hopes quashed or relived.

I’m thankful for the little things
The medium and big things too;
The weird twists my life has made within these 30 days.

I should be sad and bitter
I should be hurt and closed
If only you knew what I have seen
You’d shrug and hold me close.

I’ve sighed, I’ve cried,
I’ve lied, I’ve died
In more ways than one;
But through it all up right I stand and still refuse to cower

It’s not my strength nor is it my will
That keeps me moving on
It’s just God’s grace I can’t erase no matter how I fall

A few true friends, a few close mates
Keep pushing me each day
To see the best and receive God’s grace
With every passing day.

July is gone, today it ends
I’m glad to see you go
And I hope and pray to find God’s grace
As August bids Welcome
