On One Day at a Time by Alan Yount

in these troubled times 

and false spring 

after seventy 

but also before 

those older years 

try and find 

on one day at a time 

find something in each day 

you will enjoy doing 

something good and interesting 

you absolutely love to do 

on every 

single 

day
