Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow
There are two days in every week about which we should not worry, One of these days is YESTERDAY with its mistakes and cares, All the money in the world cannot bring back YESTERDAY. a single word we said. ......YESTERDAY is gone.
The other day we should not worry about is TOMORROW, with its TOMORROW’S sun will rise, This leaves only one day. TODAY It is not the experience of TODAY that drives us mad, Let us, therefore, live but one day at a time!
~Jennifer Kritsch~
Two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.
its faults and blunders, its aches and pains.
YESTERDAY has passed forever beyond our control.
We cannot undo a single act we performed, we cannot erase
possible adversities, its burdens, its large promise, and poor performance.
TOMORROW is also beyond our immediate control.
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 as yet unborn.
Any person can fight the battles of just one day.
It is only when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities,
YESTERDAY and TOMORROW that we break down.
It is remorse or bitterness for something which happened YESTERDAY,
and the dread of what TOMORROW may bring.
