Poetry

For me there is simply one way, which is to live my life day to day,
Living this life, one day at a time, this prescribed by God’s design;
I can’t be concerned about tomorrow, as today has its own sorrow,
These are the words to all of us, words of our Savior, Christ Jesus.
 
Tomorrow will come soon enough, along with cares and other stuff,
So I need to live today my friend, knowing soon that it too will end,
Then as dusk gives way to daylight, I will have another day in sight,
Another day granted by The Lord, as one more day to be explored.
 
Indeed, one more day in which I must, live out my day in total trust,
Trust in my God, who reigns above, each and every day I speak of,
As He’s there in every day new, guiding me until the day is through,
There every day right by my side, helping me, in His Truth, to abide.
 
Each new day, I rely upon The One, from the sunrise to setting sun,
My Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, The very Author of my entire life,
So if clouds this day should show, He’ll guide me in the way to go,
As I walk through life day to day, with my Lord on life’s narrow way.
 
Living life, just one day at a time, truly brings you a peace sublime,
Peace that goes above life’s fray, of concern and strife of the day,
When Christ’s words, one heeds, God takes care of all daily needs,
Giving you a Heaven sent peace, which on bad days will not cease.
