This Moment
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 forever
As a 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 nevermore be won.
I may not have another chance
On bended knees to pray.
And thank God with a humble heart
For giving me this day.
