I can't predict the future, I can't change the past,
I have just the present moments to treat as my last.

I must use this moment wisely, for soon it will pass away,
And be lost forever as a part of yesterday.

I must exercise compassion, help the fallen to their feet,
Be a friend unto the friendless, make their life complete.

The unkind things I do today, may never be undone,
And friendships that I fail to win, may never more be won.

I may not have another chance on bended knees to pray,
And I thank God with a humble heart for giving me this day.
