One day at a time.......................

I’m not going to wait
for wars to stop, no
more hunger, or pollution
to cease. I’m not going to
wait to be happy, content,
finally at peace.

I’m letting of
of all I can not change
which is everything
but myself. Not waiting
any longer for others
to be how I want them to be.

Finally I see life in its
tiny moments of now,
each a special jewel
to be savored in its time.
When I do this
then peace–even joy
fills this precious life
lived one moment at a time.
