today

I may never see tomorrow,
there’s no written guarantee;
And things that happened yesterday
belong to history.

I cannot predict the future,
I cannot change the past;
I have just the present moments
I must treat it as my last.

I must use this moment wisely
for it soon will pass away
and be lost forever
as part of yesterday.

I must exercise compassion,
help the fallen to their feet;
Be a friend unto the friendless,
make an empty life complete.

The unkind things I do today
may never be undone
And friendships that I fail to win
may nevermore be won.

I may not have another chance
on bended knees to pray,
and I thank God with a humble heart
for giving me this day.
