On a day like today
when it's easy to forget,
remind me of times
you were patient and kind.
On a day like today,
when it's easy to fear,
incline my mind
to your mercy and strength.
When this world overwhelms me,
and I am afraid,
I praise your Presence
that comes to my aid.
Thank you for kind strangers,
and patient friends.
For your spirit-mercy
when my heart fails within.
On a day like today,
when my memory
sputters like a flame,
May your Light be the force
that brings comfort to pain.
