A Poem

This one has been special to me over the years... HUGZZZ

There are two days in every week about which we should not worry,
Two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.

One of these days is Yesterday, with all its mistakes and cares,
Its faults and blunders, its aches and pains.

Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control.
All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday.

We cannot undo a single act we performed;
We cannot erase a single word we said.
Yesterday is gone forever.

The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow
With all its possible adversities, its burdens,
Its large promise and poor performance;
Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.

Tomorrow's sun will rise,
Either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise.
Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow,
For it is as yet unborn.

This leaves only one day, Today.
Any person can fight the battles of just one day.
It is only when we add the burdens of those two awful eternities
Yesterday and Tomorrow that we break down.

It is not the experience of Today that drives people mad,
It is the remorse or bitterness of something which happened Yesterday and the dread of what Tomorrow may bring.

Let us, therefore live, but one day at a time.
