When The Day Is Done

 

 

When the day is done
Where the stars glisten so high
I sometimes stop to take a peek…
At my beautiful… sleeping child

Standing in the doorway…
Where the moonlight… casts a soothing glow
My heart feels so thankful
For this child... that I can hold

I’m thankful for… my faithful and loving husband
Worn out from his days heavy labor
Who now sits in the recliner… propping up his feet
In the deepest of slumber

I find myself smiling... as I hear him snore
For some…
It would be so annoying... to hear
Yet, for me… it’s music to my ears
Because with me... he is here

When the day is done
Sometimes… while they are all sleeping
I stand… looking out my window
That is where I sometimes stop… to pray
Thanking God… for all the things
He graciously sends my way

For being able to say the words…
“I love you, my dear”
Yet, they seem… even sweeter, somehow
When they are whispered… in my ear

I’m thankful for all the dishes in the sink
The piles of laundry, that just seems endless
I’m thankful for all the gentle hugs I receive
Through little arms that embrace me…
Because they are the sweetest!

When the day is done
I have love from up above … I have been blessed
For I have a home filled with a family... I adore
And extra to put upon the plate…
When they should ask for more

I have a warm bed beneath my back
Shoes upon my feet
And faithful friends that smile at me…
Whenever we should meet


I’m thankful…for my life…
For the stars… I see in all their beautiful eyes
My heart… sometimes feels overwhelmed
With all this love… I feel inside

When the day is done…
I often pray to God… again
And there I humbly ask of Him
“To bless my family and my friends”
