Receive Only Today
In all of life on this earth
we have many days to live-out
not knowing the number been given
take nothing for granted without a doubt
Think not nor dwell on what's past
you can't change anything that's been
so better to leave it where it is
better to move on to a future scene
The future is so very unknown
you can't predict what tomorrow will bring
it's all a bit of a shot in the dark
so better to leave it on a sling
Now today is what really matters
it's the moment that's only for present
so better to dwell upon this day
allowing it to grip you with its scent
So the best advice you can get
to take one day at a time
you need to heed such sound word
take it like you would flowing rhyme
