Just for today; Thy manna food I ask,
that I may go rejoicing to my task.
And if, from cooling streams, my feet should stray,
Let some rock prove a fountain for today.
Just for today; it is much better so
I might grow arrogant, did I not know
My poverty, yet find it sweet to say
It is thy gift, the blessings of today.
Just for today; what more can heart demand
From One, who will each longing understand?
Thy love with holds no treasure, so I pray
"Choose what may come
But give me strength today".

Myra Goodwin Plantz.
