Pray for One Day at a Time
Creativity escapes me this morning.
I read the morning paper with dismay.
So many bombings and murders
And that is just in one day.
Children are being slain by parents
And the weather is violent and strong
With earthquakes and poisoned water
It's like everything is being done wrong.
I read the comics, but they don't help much
But they do take my mind away for a time.
Then I check emails and facebook and find enough
Friends' pain and sorrow giving us more hills to climb.
My prayers seem insignificant at times like these
But as much as I try, they seem to be all I have to give.
As it is, there is precious little I can do to help
Except to ask God for each of us one more day to live.
