My Journey to God

Day is Done

My day is done.
As I look back
To see where I’ve been,
How many souls I met,
Where I saw the Lord
In the little things,
How my heart opened
To accept joy and pain,
I give thanks and praise.

What memory stands out?
Did I do my best?
Am I ready to rest
In God’s loving arms?
Is my soul at peace?
My eyes close at last.
The day is done,
And I’m at rest,
Awaiting a new day.
