The Present Moment (GICE)

 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 moments

I must treat them as my last.


I must use this moment wisely

For it soon will pass away

And be lost 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 I thank God with a humble heart

For giving me this day.
