This is the day
the Lord has made.
The Lord?
Today?
Yesterday perhaps
could claim Your craft
or hopefully tomorrow
but not today
this disappointing day so filled
with problems
needs
despair and doubt.
This is the day
the Lord has made
and making it
He'll give the strength
and hope
to take me through.
This is the day
the Lord has made
so I'll be glad
and I'll be glad
and I'll rejoice in it.
I read this poem for the first time when I was about seventeen. There are days in which it is difficult at best to be thankful, yet, being thankful even when situations and relationships turn sour brings a sweetness to our spirit and hopefully can be spread to others. ~Judith~
