Okay.

Today I am okay.

  Not rising wings of romantic delight, 

  Nor sinking in depths of despair. 

 My children exhaust me

 And I have been ill, 

 But their smiles are sweet 

 And each day I grow well. 

So today I am okay. 

Today I am okay. 

  Not thrilled with the sheer bliss of life, 

  Nor hanging on gloomy deaths door. 

 I have lost my temper 

 And my house is a mess, 

 But I had a short nap

 And we have all been fed. 

So today I am okay. 

Today I am okay. 

  Not hot with fervor and spiritual fire, 

  Nor cold from gloom and abandon. 

 Doing justly, loving mercy,

 Walking humbly by the Spirit. 

 For Christ still lives 

 And God still loves. 

So today I am okay.
