All The Days

All the days God planned for me
are written in his book
in fine flourish and detailed script
that tells the story of my name,
my form, design, and look.
I hardly believe the volume of words
that speak his love of me!
They far outweigh my measure.
They ring his joy of laughter.
They fold me in the tender
most intimate mementoes
of his grace in blessing—
and blessing through—me.
The number of my days,
though fleeting few or many,
live to sing, and singing, praise
my Maker and His ways.
