Wednesday Riff: Mercies

With each new dawn and with the fading of the day,

We choose to think on the gift of a moment of goodness.

Though we are often worn down by the news,

And the situations around us seem too much,

With each new dawn and with the fading of the day,

We choose to think on the gift of a moment of goodness.

Though at times the day is a battle,

And the nights are restless and lonely,

With each new dawn and with the fading of the day,

We choose to think on the gift of a moment of goodness.

Though it feels as if life has ambushed us,

Relented on its promises and hopeful ways,

With each new dawn and with the fading of the day,

We choose to think on the gift of a moment of goodness.

Though our faith and courage sometimes fail us,

And it’s hard to lift our hearts and minds,

Though some days are full of struggle and stress,

While others surprise us with joy and kindness,

With each new dawn and with the fading of the day,

We choose to think on the gift of a moment of goodness.
