(Thanks to my friend, DB, who asked if I'd had a good day)
Sat down in a restaurant and the bartender asked,
"Did you have a good day?"
I said yes, but then wondered:
what makes a day good?
I know bad days are made of
"too much to do and no time to do it..."
I know rough days are made of mistakes, mostly mine,
and of so many things that just don't go right...
I know it's a bad day when helpless, discouraged
and sad's how I feel...
But what makes a good day, Lord?
What makes a day good?
A good day's a day that starts with the prayer
that no matter what happens you'll be by my side...
A good day's a day I take as it comes
and don't worry all day 'bout tomorrow...
A good day's a day when I take time to listen
and look for the ways that you've got my back...
A good day's a day when I'm sure in my heart
that it's you who's in charge and not me...
A good day's a day when I wait for your Spirit
to lead me beyond my own plans and schemes...
A good day's a day that ends with a prayer
to remember and thank you for being my God...
It's a new day, Lord, a brand new day
and I hope and I pray it's a good one...
