Just Another Day

We live
Not knowing why
Till the day comes
When we struggle
For just another day
Just another minute
Of precious breath
of life

We falter
When carelessly
We live our lives
Pursuing happiness
For just another day
Just another minute
of senseless revelry
In ourselves

We balk
At the realisation
That We need
Just another day
To realise the uselessness
Of it all
To simply begin
Pursuing life

We fail
For just another day
When we recognise
Yet deafen ourselves
To the only worthy thought
Of the one above
The Creator
The Life

So we ponder
The meaning of it all
Till wisdom arrives
And we acknowledge
the only One who knows all things
from the beginning
of eternity
The answer

To just another day
Just another chance
To walk another path
To search
And find
Our peace



Author's note:
We often realise, only too late, the meaninglessness of pursuing our own goals or our own self-thoughts of success. When life seems to come to an end, all we want is another day - regretfully - to make things right, to pursue the things that really make sense, like loving the people around us, cherishing life. But we fail again when we continue to ignore God above - who is the creator of life - who is the only one in this world who can give us the true meaning to life. And we will only find our peace in Him alone.

Jesus said,"I am the way and the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me."John 14:6
