One Day At a Time
One Day At A Time
As we consider all our days
just like we have forever.
Forgetting every now and then
our days all run together.
Making plans along the way
saving sunshine for tomorrow
Never knowing what's in store
be it happiness or sorrow.
Forgotten questions once we asked
when life was so demanding.
Answered time and time again
still we lack understanding.
Counting each day as its own
separated by the night.
Yet just one moon will fill the sky
one sun provides the light.
Looking through our earthly eyes
we're blind within our heart.
We cannot see as heaven does
we only see in part.
For every day here spent in life
along with all that's in it.
Looking down through heavens eyes
life's over in a minute.
For though we live a million days
one thousand mountains do we climb.
Still we see all that will be
as one day at a time.
Edwin C Hofert
