there's no written guarantee

And things that happened yesterday

belong to history.

I cannot change the past

I have just the present moment,

I must treat it as my last.

for it soon will pass away

and be lost to me forever

as part of yesterday.

help the fallen to their feet

Be a friend unto the friendless,

make an empty life complete.

may never be undone

And friendships that I fail to win

may nevermore be won.

on bended knee to pray

And thank God with humble heart

for giving me this day.
