'Be Jubilant Now'

If the doubts could be swept away 
If the mountains we face could crumble to the ground
How would we learn to trust? 
How would we remember about the mustard seed of faith? 
I know life can be trying at times 
You so much want that elusive peace 
Where everything falls into place 
Somehow it is possible 
Just remember the blessings 
In spite of the turmoil 
The smile on a friend’s face that’s fighting ill health 
The memories shared with a love one passed on 
The ray of hope of new life a baby brings 
The blessing to have family 
Remember to love 
Ferocious; yet gentle love 
Don't live your life 
As if tomorrow is all you plan for 
Live for today 
Be jubilant now 
Even when the mountains seem insurmountable 

As long as you have breathe 
You must have faith 
That your mission can still be accomplished 
Just don’t let it diminish
The importance of living in the now
