This Moment
There's a bright light shining below the horizon
and though I do not see the morning sun
past experience tells me
a new day has begun.
There is stillness all around me
in the quiet beauty of this morn
as I praise my God for revealing to me
the blessings of a new dawn.
Yesterday's troubles are behind me
this moment is all I really have
so I pray that I will use it well
as I journey along life's path.
So long ago a soul took flight
at a moment such as this
almost three years have long since passed
since Robert was called to everlasting bliss.
There was great turmoil on that day
when loved ones were left behind
but through life's trials I've grown to understand
the true meaning of peace of mind.
This does not mean I don't miss him
or have not thought of him through the years
but somehow I believe God understands
the love in a wife's tears.
For now I know it's up to me
to make the best of each day
until one day we meet again
as the sun rise over North Bay.
