'The Risen One' Poem by Melissa Darsey

**Thank You, Precious Father God, for this amazing, beautiful day,
And thank You for allowing me, to once again reopen my eyes.
So that I may enjoy the Earth around me, created in Your own way,
Filled with love & peacefulness, & of wonderment surprise.

**For I refuse to take my life, for granted anymore,
From now throughout Eternity, I shall follow & serve only You.
In Your Name all things are possible, like I had never imagined before,
Plus whenever I've had a wish, You'd provide a way to always make it come true.

**But if You thought what I desired, wasn't good enough for me,
You would say, 'Trust in Me, ' which I would faithfully do.
And, 'For I have something much better in store, that I'd like for you to see, '
For whenever I trusted You completely Lord, I'd realize Your words were true.

**So I thank You again so gracefully Lord, for Your guidence & Your love,
I thank you for Your miracles, which You have already done.
For whenever I may need You God, I just look to Heaven above,
Forever You are my Savior, because You are the Risen One.
