FOR TODAY ONLY

Today is a beautiful day.

Is it making up for the

Unusual gray, cold days?

I hope that is the case.

But we take what is given.

And hopefully with thanks.

When I look, I feel hopeful,

Not only for today, but

Forever. Today is just a

Single step on our journey.

The birds are singing praises,

And I think of eternity,

There is not way we can

Measure one day of the

Hereafter but it has been

Said that if a small bird

Sharpens its beak on a

Large bolder once every

Thousand years a single

Day of eternity will have

Passed when the bolder

Is worn away thusly. If

Seeing the sun flickering

Through the trees and

Smelling the fragrance of

Early summer air and

Hearing all the music

Which nature provides

Gives us peace, then we

Should do everything we

Can now to show our

Appreciation for what will

Be coming. In a broken world

We should stand firm on

Goodness and love for others.

Tomorrow will be a new day.
