Today

Today is yet another day inspired by the rest.
I take a look around me to see just what is the test.
Today is gloomy outside, it's cold and icky too.
At work I felt quite anxious with all that's new to do.

Sometimes I wonder whether this is really where it's at.
Or, should I back out now before the chili all goes splat?
My mind, it races freely 'round from one thought to the next.
I wish that I could order it and put it into text.

The day is yet another gift from th'good Lord up above.
I thank Him each and every day for giving us His love.
It's thanks to Him that I have made it through to here, today.
It's thanks to Him the kids survive, in their own special way.

I thank you, Lord, for giving us today and every other.
I thank you, Lord, for leading us down paths that do not smother.
Rather, they invite us in to listen, to explore.
"Let go, let God," the forest speaks, to me it does implore.

I try, I try, sometimes succeed with relief all around.
But other times I let it slide, no calm is to be found.
This week, as most have recently, been calm and more stressfree.
I pray tonight that God imparts His peace, serenity.
