Today I would be stronger
Than I was when I slept.
I long to have a gentler hand,
Walk with a quieter step.
I dare not dwell on yesterday.
Its glories quickly fade.
And when I fail, it really hurts
To view the mess I've made.
Tomorrow's like a sunbeam--
It MAY shine, maybe not.
So as I see it, NOW, today,
Is all I've really got.
That's why I'll do as Jesus said,
Today, I find is dear,
When past and future I forget
And work with what is here.
Now this is GREAT !!! What a wonderful piece of work A poem like this should be posted on every classroom door,rehab center and youth organization's door in the country. Simply Fantastic!!
Peace and love ~~~~ Dougie ~~~
