Because Of The Day

I challenged a moment
and I lost a time
that I see now clearly
was not worth a dime.

The fragments I remember
are certain dismay
of another timeframe
of another day.

I pushed my luck
when I knew better true
and I found a moment
of then tore into.

But through the challenge
I learned better yet
so many lessons
that I won't forget.

I guess God was watching
the footsteps I made
and He let me stumble on
my own parade.

He knew that I'd learn
as time marched along
and so He was helping me
learn from my wrong.

Some lessons shouted
the wrongs I'd begun
and others more timidly
showed what was done.

Yet God The Father
is still by my side,
because of the day
I let Jesus inside.
