Today Is A Good Old Day Poem by cheryl davis miller

In life there’s many stories told
if you have an ear to hear.
Today I hear so many sad
if compared to yesteryear.

When everything seemed better
hope was renewed ev'ry day.
But I wonder if way back then
that's what we would hear them say.

Or then as now did they complain
of some hardness of the times.
The long forgotten miseries
that somehow slip from our minds.

I too have often thought that things
were far better way back when.
Then missed the blessings of the day
I now view that as a sin.

Each day is filled with such blessings
if we but have eyes to see.
It seems it all depends upon
where our focus is, to me.

Hope really does spring eternal
when our eyes are on the Lord.
Who said to 'give our cares to Him’
and so have our hope restored.

Today is a ‘good old day’,,,
