Three Days In One
Some people live three days in one
reliving past sorrow, fretting for tomorrow
and the present borrow: overwhelmed, confused, undone.
Sufficiency is in the now
shelter for every storm, clothing for keeping warm
and food for healthy form: greediness to disavow.
A blessing count can set the pace
money for a cash flow, friends to share high and low
and health with strength to go: goodness, mercy, saving grace.
With optimistic attitude
view the glass as half-full, expect the best to cull
and negatives annul hopeful, fearless gratitude.
Fill up a life with treasured things
enjoying nature's routh, focusing on the truth
and showing polished couth: triumph with all victory brings.
