Poetry

A day at a time
Is all I can handle, Lord.
If I worry about tomorrow
Ponder over yesterday
I will lose the joy of today.

A day at a time
Is all I can manage, Lord.
If I begin to analyze between right and wrong
Juggle between the questions in my heart
I will get nowhere in the long run.

A day at a time
Is all I can carry, Lord.
You have given me a new day to exist
Another sunrise to breathe and sunset to sleep.
Help me return the hours to you profitably.

A day at a time
Is all I can hold, Lord.
When my strength fails me
When life ceases to astonish
Help me to come to terms with reality.

A day at a time
Is all I can live through Lord.
To take each hour as it comes
Place the rest in your hands
Know that you will see me through
All the way home.

Maria Franco
