It's Just Me, Lord

Its just me, Lord.
Another day is done
and Im ready to turn in for the night.

Nothing much happened to me today,
no accidents or injuries,
no sickness or hunger,
no anxiety or heartache,
no worry or pain.

Just another day of Your blessings,
a loving family,
good friends,
a little laughter and joy,
all the good things that come from You.

Just a normal, regular day in a country with no war,
not having to look over my shoulder
waiting for the next attack.

Spending the morning in the local coffee shop,
openly expounding my beliefs and opinions,
without the worry of being arrested and persecuted.

Now I slowly drift off to sleep,
with pleasant anticipation of the day to come,
yet knowing that if I dont wake to see it,
I will see You face to face in Your Heavenly Kingdom.

Good Night, Lord.

David Pekrul was born in New Westminster, B. C. Canada.

He wrote his first poem in February, 2004, as an Anniversary card for his wife, Linda. Being rather pleased by the results of his first attempt, he wrote a second one, then another and another. He soon realized that he was in love with words.

The pictures that his words paint may not always be pretty, but they are pictures worth viewing, for he writes about the world around him, whether they be things good, bad or otherwise. He also writes about family, nature, God and faith.

His first poetry book, "Parts Of The Sum Volume One" has just been published and can be found at http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/3145051

David makes his home in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies with his wife Linda and spoiled pup, Tiki.

We should never take our freedom and blessings for granted. God is good.
