Why Worry About Tomorrow

Why worry about tomorrow
And the rising of the sun,
Or anguish over past mistakes
That cannot be undone?

Why waste life's precious moments
On things that bruise the heart
When today is ours to fashion
Into a work of art?

Today comes but once, my friend,
It never can return --
So use it wisely while you can,
There's a lesson you may learn.

Let history record the past
And tomorrow come what may.
Be content to do your best
With what you have today!

Waste Not A Single Hour

Yesterday is a reminder
of things both good and bad,
The trials that taught us lessons
and good times that we have had

The future still is waiting
as a dawn awaits the night
To become a reality
before the morning light.

The past may bring us memories
to treasure through the years,
And the future keeps the dream alive
despite our doubts and fears.

But, oh, my friend, we have today
to live, and laugh and cry...
A day the Lord has given
that soon will pass us by
