Remember

by Richard S. Gilbert

As we leave this com­mu­nity of the spirit,
may we remem­ber the dif­fi­cult les­son
that each day offers more things than we can do.

May we do what needs to be done,
post­pone what does not,
and be at peace with what we can be and do.

There­fore, may we learn to sep­a­rate
that which mat­ters most
From that which mat­ters least of all.

From the book Prayers, Med­i­ta­tions, and Other Read­ings for Fam­ily, Indi­vid­ual, and Small-​​Group Wor­ship, edited by Helen R. Pickett.
