Sacred Quest

 Making the most and the best of each day is intentional...
and is possible with absolutely nothing out of the ordinary!
Thank-you God, for the blessing of ordinary days
where if we look we will find so many reasons to give You praise!


What a thing of beauty, This
Common duty’s home-sweet kiss
Where our home-sweet-laughter is
And our home-sweet tears
What a blessing, have-and-hold
Worth the hurts of growing old
Learning what we once were told
Swift time disappears’

How the flip-side of hello
Grips the heart while letting go
Suffering the rending ‘oh’
Of both joy and grief
Keeping us quite occupied
As the morn to eventide
Runs through town and countryside
Like a laughing thief

What a simple happiness
Living in momentous yes
Tuned to Mercy’s promises
Bridging Unknown’s rift
Where God grants a sacred quest
In day-to-day’s awesome test
To make the most and the best
Of life’s precious gift
