Today

 There is no greater blessing God gives me than waking up into the TODAY. It is up to me to make it count. 

Today

 

Yesterday is gone,

And so are the things that I did wrong.

Those I will not let control my days,

Or the trails ahead I choose to blaze. 

Worry will not change the past, 

And nothing lasts.

On the other hand,

As I tread this land,

Tomorrow is a day to think about,

But I cannot know what, from it, will sprout

Worry will not change the future or what lies ahead;

Just plan, pray, and trust instead.

Within my trust, 

I must’nt let today turn to dust. 

Today is what I grip within my hand.

Today is when I skip across the land.

Today opportunities are like the grains of sand.

Today is where my energy must go.

Today is when I sow.

Today, my spotlight does not end until the night.

It is: 

To be happy and gay,

To pray,

To not stray,

To make it worthwhile,

To smile.

To go the extra mile.

Today is mine, 

Taking it seconds and minutes at a time. 

It is up to me, on wings, to mount

And make my today count.
