One Day at a Time

Life can advance no more

Than the pace it moves

The hurry we initiate and keep

Cannot condition life to our terms

 

Life counts moment by moment

Minutes to hours, days to weeks

No more or less that it is

Why bear the pain of worry?

 

Let tomorrow’s problem be with tomorrow

Let the sleeping dogs of yesterday lie

Sufficient for today is its evil

And your best is – to be your best today

 

The setback we see today

Will be called experience tomorrow

And the effort you invest now

Both will lay the future’s foundation

 

Wisdom calls to invest your single coin

For though the future be known to you

Twist that may come along, you know not

And the best of your efforts is

To live to the fullest, one day at a time.

 

Matt. 6:33-34 “³³ But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ³⁴ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.“ (NIV)       ™˜
