The Key?

I awakened to a new and bright day filled with a dream of hope.

The sun appeared different, it was warmer and brighter someway.

Though distant clouds impend giving off the manifestation of smoke,

I knew in my spirit that somehow that this was just the start of brighter days.

So true it is that many troubles have shadowed each step, yet it seems now I can truly see.

I can’t explain it; this emotion; this feeling, but today I possess a golden key.

I don’t understand; I’ve seen the death of my wife, the near death of my fiancé’.

I teeter on the edge of insolvency; my job of twenty plus years remains strained---I have survived recent surgery and face the prospect of cancer,

Yet, it is such a beautiful day-

I just don’t understand-

It…it has to be God’s loving hand.

Oh what a beautiful day…
