This Moment
I may never see tomorrow,there's no written guarantee,
Things that happened yesterday belong to history,
I can't predict the future, I can't change the past,
I have just the present,this moment,I must treat as my last.
I must use this moment wisely for it will soon pass away,
And be lost forever as part of yesterday;
I must exercise passion,help the fallen to their feet,
Be a friend to the friendless,make an empty life complete.
The unkind things I do may never be undone,
And friendship I fail to win may never be won;
I may not have the chance on bended knees to pray,
Thanks to God for giving me this day.
