This is the Day!

Sometimes Lord

its easy NOT to be in the moment

it is easy to look back

at a day

a week

a month

a life

and get tangled up in blue

wrapped up in

the what if's

the 

should's

and ought's

to second 

and third 

and fourth guess one's self

one's decisions

 

this was a wild week Lord

much to do

many choices

and frankly Lord

there were too many demands

I couldn't do it all

not even close

 

and I now I sit

and worry

did I make the right choices

was it OK that I did

this

instead of that

 

I sit and remember 

responding

in a less than graceful way

to someone I value

 

I think of regrets that

need to be expressed

of the people

I need to return to

and to whom I need to say

"I am sorry"

 

sigh

 

Lord it is a beautiful day

It is a new day

this is the day

that you have made

 

help me to rejoice

and be glad in it
