Two Days

There are two days in every week

About which we should not worry

Two days

That should be kept free from fear and apprehension


One is yesterday with all its mistakes and cares

Is faults and blunders, its aches and pains


Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control

We cannot undo a single act we performed or erase a single word we said

Yesterday is gone forever


Then there is tomorrow

With all its possibilities, it’s adversities, its burdens, its rewards


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 has yet to be born


That leaves today

Anyone can fight the battle of just one day

It’s when you add the burdens of yesterday and tomorrow

That you break down


It’s not the experience of today that drives a person mad

It’s the remorse or bitterness of something that happened yesterday

And the dread of what tomorrow might bring


Therefore, it only makes sense

For peace of mind and hope

Live simply one day at a time

Live today!
