Wishing for a Different Day-a poem 4-3-17

CHRIST IN WINTER: Reflections on Faith & Life for the Years of Winter


I wish the day had started
in a different way, on a different
note, with my brain filled
with the flowers of hope
instead of the weeds of despair

I would sing if I could
Woke up this morning, with my mind
stayed on Jesus

But I woke up this morning with my mind
stayed on those who will us harm
and they are so many

Still, I say
this is the day the Lord has made
Let us rejoice and be glad in it
