Today

Let’s not waste a single minute
Of this blessing that we’re given
Let’s be happy now today
Today is all we’ve got
Tomorrow’s not guaranteed
Let’s not worry for a minute
Tomorrow may never come
And if it does
There’ll be plenty of time
To worry then
We’ll face the music as it comes
Let’s be happy now today
Let’s not waste a single minute
Of this blessing that we’re given
Let’s be happy now today

How very true. All we have is now. Reminds me of this sign my aunt had: Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.
