Each Day

posted by Susan Diamond

To start this day with joy.
To end this day with peace.
To start this day with longing.
To end this day released.

Live each day with wonder,
With kindness, awe and grace.
Live each day with courage,
With trust, with hope, with faith.

Hold fast to sacred moments.
Hold fast to precious love.
Hold fast to one another.
Hold fast to God above.

Hold courage through the hours,
And humor through the tears.
Hold God above your sorrows.
Hold God above your fears.

To You I must surrender,
Oh God of hidden spheres.
You are Source and Shelter.
To You I pledge my years.
