Batteries Included

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 .
