Betty Jo Baca Poet I do not know?

How I Survive

I was asked how I survive
I knew this was a serious question
I knew a lot depended on my wisdom
It was guidance they were asking for
Did I know the answer?

I quickly asked God for the answer
And the answer came to me
I just let it flow from me
Please let it be the right words
To strengthen this person

“I live one day at a time
I do the best job I can
I am the best person I can be
I love with all my heart
And everything else will take care of itself.”

I was surprised at my words.
But I knew that is how I live each day
I am a survivor
With the Lord to guide me
Each and every day.
