Ours is a program of one day at a time.
We remember yesterday. being powerless
unable to manage our lives. But we don’t stare
at the past even while sharing how it was.
We know tomorrow will come, we note it
on our calendars. But we don’t stare at it,
imagining accomplishments, relationships,
financial security, dreams come to fruition.
We live wholly in today, knowing that is enough,
that we can be who we choose this day
and only this day, and a glance back
or a peek at the future is enough
but that today is the only day we have,
a day to be lived in the presence and guidance
of a Power greater than we.
