Life’s Little Days

Oh God –
You are so big
How can
My struggle,
My classroom,
My little world
So fill my horizon
That I forget
Your immensity
And eternity?
Small people
And small ideas
Filling my mind
Blinding my heart.
On this day, please
Raise my vision,
Cleanse my mind,
Renew my heart.
Fill my horizon
With Yourself,
Giving perspective
To life’s little days.

By Linda L. Gage, 1979
