Denise

Lord, I look back on the path I have walked,

Speaking the truth in the way I have talked.

Honest and steady, with faith as my guide,

Patience has anchored the waters inside.

I count every blessing, I look at the years,

The quiet endurance that conquered the fears.

Oh, this is a hymn to celebrate life,

Through every season, the joy and the strife.

A heart that is honest, a spirit made free,

Thankful for all that has shaped this Denise.

With hands full of patience and grace from above,

A lovable soul in a lifetime of love.

I still remember the very first cry,

Holding my daughter, a gift from the sky.

Now I bear witness to seeds that were sown,

Seeing my beautiful granddaughters grown.

Straightforward and strong, they are blooming so bright,

Filling the evening of life with their light.

Oh, this is a hymn to celebrate life,

Through every season, the joy and the strife.

A heart that is honest, a spirit made free,

Thankful for all that has shaped this Denise.

With hands full of patience and grace from above,

A lovable soul in a lifetime of love.

The circle continues, the miracle stays,

My first great-grandchild awakening my days.

A new breath of heaven, a new hand to hold,

The sweetest of stories that time could unfold.

My patience rewarded, my spirit at rest,

I look at my family and know I am blessed.

Oh, this is a hymn to celebrate life,

Through every season, the joy and the strife.

A heart that is honest, a spirit made free,

Thankful for all that has shaped this Denise.

With hands full of patience and grace from above,

I rest in the light of a lifetime of love.
