This Moment

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 soon it will pass away.
And be lost for ever
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 wine
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 to pray.
