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 moments,
I must treat it as my last.

I must use this moment wisely

for it soon will pass away,

and be lost 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 that I do today
may never be undone,
and friendships that I fail to win
may nevermore be won.
I may not have another chance
on bended knees to pray,
to thank God with a humble heart
for giving me this day.
