| This poem is not one of my creations, but one that I want to share with you. I found it, in a book, at my Great Grandmother-in-law's house, when I was staying with her while she was sick. I hope you find the peace and serenity that I had found in it when I first read it. In this world we live in today, we can only take it One Day At A Time. One day at a time, with it's failures and fears, With it's hurts and mistakes, with it's weakness and tears. With it's portion of pain and it's burden of care; One day at a time, we must meet and must bear. One day at a time, to be patient and strong; To be calm under trial and sweet under wrong; Then it's toiling shall pass and it's sorrow shall cease; It shall darken and die, and the night shall bring peace. One day at a time - but the day is so long, And the heart is not brave, and the soul not strong. O Thou pitiful Christ, be Thou near all the way; Give courage and patience and strength for the day. Swift cometh His answer, so clear and so sweet; "Yea, I will be with thee, thy troubles to meet; I will not forget thee, nor fail thee, nor grieve; I will not forsake thee; I never will leave." Not yesterday's load we are called on to bear, Nor the morrow's uncertain and shadowy care; Why should we look forward or back with dismay? Our needs, as our memories, are but for the day. One day at a time, and the day is His day; He hath numbered it's hours, though they haste or delay. His grace is sufficient; we walk not alone; As the day, so the strength that He giveth His own. ~Annie Johnson Flint~ |
