One Day at a Time

Sunbeams fall upon my face
In early morning light…
Day breaks forth with new life
I yawn, awakened by bird song…
No yesterday, no tomorrow, only today…
New beginning…new breath…
No mistakes, no regrets…
Fresh new start, a grateful heart
Papa, what is this I feel?
Son, it is called being alive…
Papa, what are these sounds of joy I hear?
Son, that is called music…
Papa, what are these growls coming from my belly?
Son, that is called hunger…
Take these grapes and eat, and you will be filled
New strength for your journey…
Oh, Papa, there’s a burst of sweetness I’ve never known
Adam, there are so many today’s I want to show you.
Come, lets walk, one day at a time
A new beginning each day!
There are rivers and trees and flowers and dreams
To enjoy, one day at a time.
Animals to name and sea creatures too
A treasured companion I’ll create for you.
One day at a time!

Genesis 2:7 King James Version – And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
