This Good Day

For all the good that's done today
For kind words said along the way
For children's laughter, joy and play
For Love's surrounding, come what may
     I lift my grateful voice.

May human kindness flow through me
May peace abide in all I see
May thoughts express more We and Me 
May hands and hearts and minds agree
     that life is very good.

When this good day is finally done
When I behold the setting sun
When my full race is finally run
When shadows part I'll know the One 
     whose hand extends to mine.
