This Moment
Submitted by : Ghareeb on Death
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 it soon will pass away.
And be lost forever 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 win may nevermore be won.
I may not have another chance on bending knees to pray.
And thank God with a humble heart for giving me this day.
