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 moment
I must treat it as my last
I must use the moment wisely
For it soon will 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 to the friendless
Make an empty life complete
The unkind things I do today
May never be undone
Any friendships that I fail to win
May nevermore be won
I may not have another chance
On bended knee to pray,
And I thank God with humble heart
For giving me the day.
