I Know... Poem by Brian Swaine

The sun shines brightly down on me;
The birds sing cheerfully in the trees.
The grass is green, the flowers in bloom;
Their fragrance surrounds me like a sweet perfume.
Butterflies flutter by and the crickets sing;
Young rabbits are at play, a product of spring.
A breeze strokes my face like a sweet caress;
Because of all this, I know I am blessed.

The Son smiles brightly down on me;
His suffering on the cross has set me free.
His joy gives me comfort through all life's tests
And at His feet is where my burdens all rest.
I'm calmed by His peace, forgiven by His grace;
His love wraps ‘round me like a warm embrace.
His wisdom guides me always to know what's best;
Because of all this, I know I am blessed.
