Just Take It One Day At  A Time.


He tells me this every day,
Take it one day at a time,
Rid your fears, don't look ahead,
And you will be just fine.

So I do, I take it just one day at a time,
Don't look to tomorrow, or next week,
I try to stay focused and strong,
For its solace that I seek…!

I don't look for problems that are not there,
I take everything in my stride,
Focused and determined I am…
And I have a strength inside!

Today, that's the important one,
I have to get through today,
If I do that and don't think ahead,
I really will do okay!

I won't see problems up ahead,
If I focus only on today,
Face what I need to face,
But on a ‘need to face' it day!

One day at a time he tells me,
Every day of my life from now on,
It alleviates fears, it really does,
And if we can do it this way, then we've won.

I can't see the woods just yet
 I'm in the thick of the trees just now,
But I will find my way, but only day by day,
I will prevail, someway, somehow!

Just one day at a time, that's what I do,
And I will forever more…
Because in truth, forever's today,
And tomorrow's through another door.

So every day I focus again,
And stay as strong as only I can do,
And no matter what, no matter how,
I will survive and see it through!!!!

It's just another hurdle,
And for me, the worst I've had,
Though everyone in my life disagrees,
For they think I've had a life so bad.

In truth, I suppose I have…
But then, so have many others too,
We all hurt and weep and pain at times,
When we don't think we may make it through.

I put my life in this special man's hands,
For me, I have lots of trust,
And for now, at this time…
This is an absolute must!

Faith, determination, strength and constitution,
I have all this and much more…
For I also have the most special thing…
My faith!  And it's always to the fore!

Yes, I am all that I am…
But I am also human too,
Just because you can't see my fears,
Doesn't mean I'm tougher than you!
