Make the Most of Today

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 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 knee to pray,
And thank God with a humble heart for giving me this day.
