To Walk With Day By Day (English Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

Lord, I bring to You a small offering:
another day of dirty earthly toil,
I do earnestly pray for Your blessing
and water on the red-brown fertile soil,

I do confess to every word and deed
that today brought shame to Your great name,
I do beg from this burden to be freed:
change me to Your likeness to be the same,

renew my true love that I have for You
and Your sincere love that you have for me.
Let me today be to Your calling true,
as Your child witness to humanity:

there is no other to straighten the way,
as a true friend to walk with day by day.
