~ I May Never See Tomorrow ~

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 excercise 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.
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 this day.
