Thank You Lord

Lord, thank you for another day,
Within this life of mine.
Give me the strength to live it well,
Whatever I may find.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bestow Your abundance,
Whatever I may lack,
To use the hours wisely,
For I cannot have them back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lord, thank You for another day,
In which to make amends
For little slights or petty words,
Inflicted on my friends.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For sometimes losing patience,
With problems that I find,
For seeing faults in other's lives,
But not the ones in mine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lord, thank you for another chance,
In which to try to be,
A little more deserving
Of the gifts You've given me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For yesterday is over,
And tomorrow's far away.
And I remain committed,
To the good I do today!
