FOR ONLY TODAY

Today, yesterday, and tomorrow: yesterday is gone, no more wrongs can be made right. What I have done I cannot change, be it good or bad. Yesterday is of small remembrance or embrace. What I have done wrong is wrong forever, what I have done good will be no use to others.

Tomorrow: is not promised to be. Things may not be thought of or done. No good, no bad may be in my grasp. It will be someone else's day of presence.

Today is a gift. That is why it is called the present. It will either be brief and wasted or it will be long and prosperous. I will choose at my awakening what my day will contain. I must not waste one moment of it for it's hours are brief. Today I will embrace life: the beauty of it, the breeze in the trees, the sun on the grass, the beauty of each moment.

I will choose to give thanks, to be caring, to surround myself with happiness and love. I will hold tight the things I cherish and give thanks for their presence in my life. I will smile often and also laugh out loud at things that make me happy. I will use my time wisely for it is brief. I will do kind deeds and not boast. I will sing God's praises and pray for the pain of others to be lifted.

At the close of the present I hope I will have done all I can do to make a kind mark on my small world. I see, I feel, I hear the nearing of the present day close. May it be meaningful and full of love, and embrace the one's I love more than myself.
