Another Day Is Here

Another day is here

No doubt with a plan

To do this and that and these and those

Be it woman or be it man.

Another day is here

And each will have a scheme

To progress along the way

To fulfil his or her dream.

Another day is here

And with it comes the unknown

That for which we cannot plan

In the time we have on loan.

Another day is here

Perhaps one to baffle the mind

As we traverse its several hours

Throughout the daily grind.

Another day is here

There’s been none like it before

It’s unique in its date at least

With other peculiarities in store.

Another day is here

Following the night that has gone

Several hours having already passed

Preceding its eventual dawn.

Another day is here

Some things will be the same

The changes we will not anticipate

They are not within our frame.

Another day is here

No doubt for some their last

By the time of the setting sun

Someone’s loved one will have passed.

Another day is here

Can you really tell for sure?

Whether you won’t be that loved one

To pass before this day is o’er?

  

Another day is here

With its customary unpredictability

But the fact that we have lived to see it

Should be a welcome opportunity.

Another day is here

And the Saviour beckons still

Today is an opportunity for salvation

Why not step in line with God’s will?

Another day is here

There’s no guarantee another will follow

Today is therefore my time to act

For I can do nothing tomorrow.
