The Day Is Today

I have to let go of Yesterday In my hand I have but Today, Who knows what brings Tomorrow A gift of joy or loads of sorrow. It's night here; somewhere it's day, We walk together but for a short way, The sun neither rises nor sets, Miserable of all is the life of regrets. I can have faith in the Lord, Or fuss and fret and cry aloud, I can wake up to face the rising sun to seek the day’s blessings or shun. I have to let go of my petty ego For my Lord upon me to bestow the ethereal light of His good grace To enlighten my day, my spirit, my face. I have to let go of the worldly aspiration And seek out my path to salvation, I have to stand in His heavenly presence And seek my place in His providence. ~03/24/2016 ~Second Chance #2 contest by Broken Wings
