It’s Always Day 1 (SECOND MARRIAGE ANNIVERSARY POEM)

On the 8th day of the 9th month we come To remember our blessings with affection
And to reflect on our lessons
We wish we could say we were now experienced
We wish we could say we had learnt so much
But, really, all we can say is that it is always Day 1

Each brand new day is full of its unique opportunities and challenges
Each day is a new opportunity to express love
Each new day is an opportunity to test and refine our Christian personality
Yes, it’s always Day 1

On the eight day of the night month we kneel and beg
That the Sustainer of our lives not forsake us for the sake of his name
Each day is a day to share with Him our aches and plagues
Each day is a day to share with Him our joys and tears
Each day is a day to beg for His wisdom to guide our steps
Each day is a day to implore that He restrain us from bringing reproach on His holy name

On the eight day of the night month we raise our eyes upwards to our Maker
Our Guard and Guide
For we learnt that
Not in our own might can we be conquerors
Not in our own strength can we be victorious
We learnt to peer into His Word
And ever remain little children before His eyes
We learnt to look for evidence of His Spirit’s direction and discern angelic guidance
Yes, we approach each day with confident humility
For, it is always Day 1
