GIFTS TO FIND

From each day of life on earth,
Learn to find a gift of mirth;
From each day when things go wrong,
Find a smile of prayerful song.
Tears of anguish – rants of ire –
Will not change what has transpired.
Find a faith – to faith renew-
From each day you’re passing through;
Find a touch of peace and grace
From the days that grief embrace.
Let no cloud of past dismay
Dim your sunshine of today.
What is done – or mean to be –
Will not change with woeful plea;
Hopes and dreams that Time estranged
Hate and anger will not change.
Learn to find some love each day,
In the time you find to pray.
