I may never see tomorrow

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 to me 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 nevermore be won.


I may not have another chance on bended knee to pray,
And thank God with humble heart for giving me this day.
