A Small Prayer...

A Small Prayer...

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 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 knees to pray
And I thank God with a humble heart
for giving me this Day..
