As a child I celebrated birthdays
And Christmas with gifts
Opening them with joy and excitement
And great zeal ,
Tearing open boxes ripping through
Wrapping paper and turning gift bags upside down
With those labeled batteries included .
A very precious gift for me today is today .
It comes filled and ready to enjoy
By yourself and your relatives and friends too .
Remember , the Lord has made the day
And encourages people to celebrate each day
With joy and gladness .
Oh to celebrate the present day
Is for all people in all times .
The Lord has placed inside
Each day all that is needed
For enjoyment and spiritual growth .
No batteries or assembly is needed
To appreciate this gift .
So often we miss the joy of today
Because we are preoccupied
With plans for tomorrow .
How different life would be
If we with child like zeal
Turn the gift of today
Upside down to get everything out !
While asking for tomorrow's needs
I pray for the Lord to help me
To grateful for the present day .
I Love You All
