All the Days of My Life

A pilgrimage poem by Kathryn Overall.
Written in the winter of 2021.

I give you this day.
No, you give me this day
And I receive it as a gift.

The day does not depend on me.
The day rests in your Presence
And I awaken in you and to you.

You promised me
You would be with me all the days of my life
In a pilgrim’s chapel in the Burgos Cathedral.

todos los días de mi vida

A deep whisper in the heart
That brought liquid love to my eyes
And remained as a deposit in my soul.
A gift that lives and lingers.

Help me to remember.
To walk through my day aware
That you are with me
In all the unresolved matters of my heart.
The hoped for but uncertain tomorrow.

No matter what lies ahead
You will be with me on that day.
And every day,
As in this.
