Singing Sweet Songs

Woke up this morning feeling free

Singing sweet songs 

Through another day I made it 

My heart beats on 

My soul rejuvenated 

I could have given in 

at anytime to bitterness 

and negativity 

But I chose to rise above and just 

fuel this Positivity 

For those who wanna sing with me 

Sing sweet and never sour 

'swing low sweet chariot' 

Coming on the fifth of every hour 

to carry this 

Heart of mine home 

My happiness is my very own 

Though my soul is prone to sadness 

I've been known to fill these lungs with gladness 

and breathe Peace 

May this Light of mine

never cease to shine 

and inspire kindness 

I find that 

the more I give 

and the less I take  

Love begins to shape my world 

into something beautiful 

Don't let greed make a fool of you 

Don't let the minuscule things in life 

lead you to compromise 

Your integrity  

for what may only be immediate gratification 

Me, Id rather be patient 

and await the much greater blessing 

that God will place in 

these hands of mine

Until then I sing this rhyme to thee 

A melody of thanks 

for what I've been given 

As I continue livin with a smile 

Grateful all the while.... :)
