Our Prayer






Everyday is a journal page

Every man holds a quill and ink
And there's plenty of room for writing in




All we do and believe and think
So will you compose a curse
Or will today bring the blessings





Fill the page with rhyming verse
Or some random sketchings

Teach us to count the days
Teach us to make the days count


Lead us in better ways
Somehow our souls forgot
Life means so much

Life means so much

Life means so much

Everyday is a bank account
And time is our currency
So no one's rich, nobody's poor
We get twenty-four hours each
So how are you gonna spend


Will you invest or squander
Try to get ahead
Or help someone who's under

Teach us to count the days
Teach us to make the days count

Lead us in better ways
Somehow our souls forgot


Life means so much . . .Life means so much

Life means so much

Has anybody lived who knew the value of a life?
And don't you think giving his own
Would prove the worth of yours and mine?

Teach us to count the days
Teach us to make the days count

Lead us in better ways
Somehow our souls forgot

Life means so much

Life means so much

Life means so much

Oh Sally - that's a beautiful post. What's the first thing posted? Our computer just shows a blank white box -- so maybe it's a video. Your photos are gorgeous -- and not just because your camera's good. You've captured some of the richness of your souls and your life out there. Sigh.... it's lovely.
