THIS MOMENT
| Copyright photo by Dianne Lang | 
I may never
see tomorrow
There’s no
written guarantee
And things
that happened 
Yesterday
belong to history
I cannot
predict the future, I cannot
Change the
past
I have just
the present moment
I must
treat it as my last
I must use
this moment wisely 
For it soon
will pass away and 
Be lost to
me forever as part of yesterday. 
I must
exercise compassion
Help the
fallen to their feet
Be a friend
unto the friendless
Make an
empty life complete
The unkind
things I do today may
Never be
undone and friendship 
That I fail
to win may nevermore be won 
I may not
have another chance on 
Bended
knees to pray and thank
God with a
humble heart for giving me
This day! 
These are not my words – I have been going
through one of my old journals, and found that I had copied it out without
putting the author’s name to it.  It is still
a powerful message.
