This Moment
I may never see tomorrow,
there is no written guarantee.
Things that happened yesterday
belong to history.

I cannot predict the future,
and 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 soon will pass away,
and be lost to me forever,
as part of yesterday.

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

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

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