Array ( [sid] => 172335 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => ONE DAY AT A TIME [time] => 2012-05-03 18:30:14 [hometext] => I HAVE BEEN HELPING A LOVED ONE THROUGH A DIFFICULT TIME. [bodytext] => ONE DAY AT A TIME
I prayed for just one minute.
He graciously gave me two.
Can I make it one more hour?
His power gets me through.

I plead for generous mercy,
He granted endurance and grace.
I beg Him my petitions,
He knows well the concerns of my case.

The sun creeps up so slowly.
I wonder when begins its retreat?
Each minute that circles my time piece,
My heart skips multiple beats.

I go through my daily motions.
Trademark smile fixed on my face.
I pray the hours would quicken,
My spirit can ne’er bear this pace.

Darkness creeps in with a whisper.
It o’er takes and shadows the day.
My eyes grow heavy and burdened.
My thoughts have no more to say.

I knew my Creator was with me.
His footprints danced around mine.
He bore my head on His shoulder,
He breathed His words as a sign.

I began my plea with one moment.
He gave me the whole day instead.
Whatever those trials that consumed me,
He collected and carried my dread.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
