A Day At a Time

A Day At A Time. . Cast no smothering shadow of yesterday On an uncertain morrow Nor cutting broken pieces To tread upon Hindering your progress With trauma and anguished pain Yesterdays troublesome burdens Maybe too much a heavy load to carry And will only drag you down again . Ignite and strike positive light To brighten up your gifted day It may be hard sometimes to muster When life throws nothing But rocks at you and arrows Shot your way But live for the hour And take things nor all at once But live for just the moment And the day . Count your varied blessings Let gratitude feed your mood The wealthiest people are not always happy But the poor may have little expectations And little possessions But have a better happier attitude . As the good wise book says Why worry about today When the morrow May have its own problems You can always pray to Yahweh Through his son Jesus Christ To give you strength Ease your injurious burden And light your way. . Look after a gifted today As the yet unborn morrow Will take care of itself Worry only causes undue stress Blighting your inner strength and health Live for today And look after one's self. .
