A Better Day Today





A Better Day Today







The thing that I like most of all



When speaking of my life.



Is that one single little day



Can put an end to strife.



I don’t despair and never fail



To look for better days.



I go to God in heartfelt prayer



And let Him smooth my ways.



He never asks me how I came



To be in such a mess.



He only listens, then He acts.



He loves me is my guess.



While others say “I told you so,”



And repeat advice they shared,



My Lord just holds me close to Him



That’s how I know He cares.

I absolutely love that line Jessica! This is a really great poem of inspiration. If all who dwell on the earth could feel the same way, what a wonderful world it would be!!
As always~~ Peace and love ~~~~ Dougie ~~~

A wonderful poem, too often those that we call friends, and loved ones look down upon us because of mistakes we have made. It is a rare gift to find someone so loving and so caring that no matter how badly we mess things up, their only desire is simply to comfort us, hold us close, and make things right for us once again. Its nice to know that no matter who comes in and out of our lives, we always have someone like that in God.

What a marvellous poem Jessica. It wraps around me and hugs me into happiness.
Such a strongly positive first line! In fact, it is filled with wonderful little thoughts and manners of expressing them.
This is a favourite of mine. Keep up the outstanding poetry my friend.
