Not Today

Life is brief and fragile

We are sometimes filled with dread

By the ultimate reality

There are more days behind than ahead.

How do we find joy and gladness?

How do we live life with death?

By choosing grateful acceptance

That God gifts us every breath.

Live like there’s no tomorrow

Live like yesterday’s gone

Live like the battle is still waging

But the victory is already won.

The grave finds everyone eventually

Life’s vitality will ebb away

Stand grateful in this moment

Death comes, but not today.

Not today.

“This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

Psalm 118:24
