This Moment

Tammy

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 this moment wisely,
for it soon will pass away,
and be lost to me forever
as part as 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 the friendships that I fail to win,
may nevermore be won.

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