If For One Day
By Jane Merchant
If for one day
I can forget
The nagging care,
The needless fret;
For one day, keep
My spirit clear
From anxious doubt
And useless fear;
If for one day
I can believe
In life, and joyously
Receive
The blessings that
Are always mind
Of earth and air
And love divine –
Oh, then at last,
At last, I may
Learn how to do it
Every day.
