Live the Moment

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 use 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.
