Live Day by Day

By Julia Harris May

I heard a voice at evening softly say, Nor load this week with last week's load of sorrow. Bear not thy yesterday into to-morrow, Lift all thy burdens as they come, nor try To weigh the present with the by and by. One step and then another, take thy way— Live day by day. Live day by day.
Though autumn leaves are withering round thy way, Walk in the sunshine. It is all for thee. Push straight ahead, as long as thou canst see. Dread not the winter whither thou mayst go, But when it comes, be thankful for the snow. Onward and upward. Look and smile and pray— Live day by day. Live day by day.
The path before thee doth not lead astray. Do the next duty. It must surely be The Christ is in the one that’s close to thee. Onward, still onward, with a sunny smile, Till step by step, shall end in mile by mile. “ I’ll do my best,” unto thy conscience say. Live day by day. Live day by day.
