I may never see tomorrow, there is no written guarantee. <br />And things that happened yesterday, belong to history <br />I cannot predict the future, I can't change the past <br />I have just the present moment, I must treat it as my last <br /> <br />I must use this moment wisely, for it will soon pass away <br />And be lost to me forever, as part of yesterday <br />I must exercise compassion, help the fallen to their feet. <br />Be a friend unto the friendless, make an empty life complete <br /> <br />The unkind things I do today, may never be undone <br />And friendships that I fail to win, may never more be won <br />I may not have another chance on bended knee to pray <br />And thank God with humble heart, for giving me this day<br /><br />Richard Maginness<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-tomorrow-never-comes-11/
