Poem by unknown author (www.ellenbailey.com)
I may never see tomorrow,
There is 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 moment,
I must treat it as my last.
I must use this moment wisely,
For it will soon pass away
And be lost to me 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 never more be won.
I may not have another chance
On bended knee to pray
And thank God with humble heart,
For giving me this day.
