Yesterday and Tomorrow

            One of these days is yesterday with its mistakes and cares,
            Its faults and
blunders, Its aches and pains.
            Yesterday has passed
forever beyond our control.
            All the money in the
world cannot bring back yesterday.
            We cannot undo a single
act we performed.

            We cannot erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone.

            The other day we should not worry about is tomorrow.
            With its possible
adversities, Its burdens, 
            Its large promise and poor performance.
            Tomorrow is also beyond
our immediate control.
            Tomorrow's Sun will
rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, 
            but it will rise.

            Until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow, for it is yet unborn.
            This just leaves only
one day . . . Today.
            Any person can fight
the battles of just one day.
            It is only when you and
I add the burdens of those two awful eternity's -
            yesterday and tomorrow
that we break down.

            It is not the experience of today that drives people mad.
            It is the remorse or
bitterness for something which happened yesterday 
            and the dread of what tomorrow may
bring.

            Let us therefore live but one day at a time.
