to GOD be the GLORY
~ Give Me a Sense of Humor ~
By Deborah Ann

Lord, give me a sense of humor,
a spirit that is light . . .
so when I feel the dreariest
my heart can sparkle bright.
Let me learn to giggle,
when something tickles me
like my baby grandson
as I bounce him on my knee.
Let me learn to chuckle,
like I did as a little girl
even when life’s tangles
pull at my thinning curls.
Let me learn to laugh aloud,
even if only to myself . . .
like when a child is playing
with no one but them self.
Let me learn to smile,
when I prefer to wear a frown
like a toddler thick in mischief
and thinks no one is around!

“Who satisfieth
thy mouth with good things;
so that thy youth is
renewed like the eagle’s.â€
