One Day at a Time
The past can feel like heavy chains
Of hateful words I said.
Old wounds, regrets, and broken dreams
Still echo in my head.
The future whispers quiet fears
Of things I cannot see.
A thousand worries crowd my mind
About what lies ahead for me.
But today is where my life unfolds
And peace can hold me tight.
If I take just one step in faith
And choose the path that’s right.
So I will leave my past with God
And let tomorrow wait its turn.
For life is lived one day at a time
To love, to laugh, to learn.
— David Ritter
