My Calendar

I open my eyes in the morning
and start crying where I lay,
Oh God, I made it through the night
and will have to live another day.

I see my life as a calendar
each square to mark and track.
The days that have passed are blank
and the ones ahead, pitch black.

It wasn't long ago this was all I had,
I prayed each night; out loud for God to hear.
To bring me someone to help with these burdens
to lessen the lonliness and the fear.

They say that God doesn't so much give you what you ask,
but he certainly gives you what you need.
Instead of giving a little, he gave me alot
and set me on a path that I could lead.

To answer all my prayers,
God gave me you.
Now the squares are filled with light
full of new things to do.

I look forward to tommorrow,
and am proud of my accomplishments in the past.
I am excited, fullfilled, I even dream
and each day I'm more happy then the last.
