Numbered Days


 Teach us to number our days,
that we may gain a heart of wisdom. (Psalm 90:12, NIV)
All I have is today,
and should I falter,
I start again, here, now,
not waiting
for tomorrow,
or Monday,
or the year's first day.
Yet though I can begin
again – and again —
and yet again,
I lose if that's a crutch.
What's lost?
A history of sanity,
a sense of continuity,
a confidence in growth,
a pattern of peace.
