Facing Days Not Kind

Time constrained I stagger forward

Too much in my busy life

Everything that lies before me

Holds within its share of strife

Somehow in these days so hectic

I find calmness through the storm

One step forward towards the middle

There my peace will find its form

All that each day has to give me

Even things at first I lack

As they’re needed each appears

I see it now as I look back

Seems we ought to learn this lesson

Once we’ve gone through this before

Yet this lesson just repeats

Our record scratched, same words & score

Every time I go through this

Seems like the first time I’ve been through

Until I look back through the years

I see this time was nothing new

So thank you God, for being patient

Hoping we will finally know

It was you that helped us through

These days not kind each time we go
