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 each as my last.
I must use this moment wisely for it soon will pass away,
And so 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 I do today may never be undone,
And friendships that I fail to win may never more be won.
I may not have another chance, on bended knees to pray,
And I thank God with all my heart for giving me this day.
