One Day At A Time

I’m glad life is given us bit by bit,
In minutes, and days, and years,
For if we were faced
with the whole of it,
How filled it would be with fears,
With all of its laughter,
and all of its pain,
Its sorrow and joy and care,
Why, even its beauty all at one time,
Would be more than we could bear.

But God drops
a bit of happiness here,
And lowers a shadow there,
And each of us
has his portion of both,
The bitter and the fair,
And, whether the way
be rough or fine,
It’s a comforting thing to know,
We’ve only one step to take at a time,
Just one little day to go.

Forever loved and missed by children
Gary, Keiren, Paulette and families.
