No Waste

I heard birds singing, a breeze shaking the leaves, and the sun is shining,
I thank God for another day and don't bother Him, with any of my whining,
For things are pretty good and the old bones, aren't hurting me too bad,
I have a lot more reasons to be happy, and very few that make me sad,
And I just want to make a difference in someone's life, each and every day,
And staying in God's will, is the main thing for which I pray,
For it is a continuous journey, this plan God has for me,
And there are never any detours, in seeking what He wants me to be,
It doesn't have to be all big things, just a blessing small,
For who knows what it may take, to lead one to answer God's call,
And may I never hesitate, but follow You Lord without delay,
Because to waste it is not the reason, that You have given me another day.
