Quality of Day

We have the day
Is all
It seems
And it can be good
Or bad
Or
Like as not
Indifferent

But
If a day
It is a day that God has
Given
And toward gratitude
Behooving

Except on evil days
We think
When
Gratitude is due
But God must have understanding
For even the virtuous
To rail

Then after
Maybe during
All
The cries
When thinking to leave or
To have left

And if left
To be a delight
Upon
Returning
Maybe a prodigal
Maybe a simpler turning
To
Have come back

Then still
To have the day and in
One way or another
Have
Share
Maybe share joy

And
Thus
If in a small contributing way
The next
