These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Some days

Some days life is smooth and cool
with little to complain,
but other days are harsh and cruel
with hearts, that seem to rain.

Some days hope is all about
with joy, that makes us sing,
but other days are marked by doubt,
and sadness, that they bring.

Some days our blessings shine like rays
of sun upon the head,
but other days the darkness says,
"Your test paper's marked by red."

Some days and other days are just
the days we live on Earth.
Th'Eternal Day is ours, we trust
through He, Who makes new birth.

These days of Earth must bow the knee,
proclaiming, "He is Lord!"
The Day of life is full and free,
the Gift of The Living Word.
