    THIS DAY

     Yesterday is gone
    I can never see tomorrow there is no written guarantee
    And things that happened yesterday belong to history
    I cannot predict the future
    I have just the present moment
    So, I must treat it as today

    I shall use today wisely
    For it will soon past away and lost to me forever as part of yesterday
    I must exercise compassion and help the fallen to their feet.
    I must be a friend to the friendless
    To make complete an empty life
    And friendship that I fail to win may never be won again
    I may not have another chance on bended knees to pray
    So with all my heart I thank God for giving me this day.

    Most of the times it is true that if you pray to God that he will forgive you for your sins and all that kind of stuff. This is an excellent poem, I give you another 10.

    Thank you clifton. I am grateful you like it. My earnest prayer everyday as I wake up from sleep is to use today wisely. thanks for your comment

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
