Reason A. Poteet Poet Acrostic

Poem For Today

 "Be happy in the moment, that's enough. 
                Each moment is all we need."
                                          Quote_ Mother Teresa


Problem's color dwindles as morning dawns.
Obstacles which seemed unsurmountable
Evaporate as entanglements fade.
Might it be that I left them in God's hands?

For real, I rest in His care and constraint.
Offering each day praise; then thanksgiving
Remains my focus despite the day's stress.

Today as I rise, fresh on this moment...
Offense and maltreatment I can pardon.
Deliberate actions rejected, gone.
A word from the Lord brings understanding -
You are forgiven, the operative words.
