There are two days in every week

that we should not worry about,

two days that should be kept free

from fear and apprehension.

One 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

can not bring back yesterday

We can not undo a certain act

or take back a word we've said-

Yesterday is gone

The other day we shouldn't

worry about is Tomorrow-

with its impossible adversaries

its burdens,its hopeful promise,

and poor performance.

Tomorrows sun

will either rise in splendor

or behind a mask of clouds,

but it will rise

and until it does,

we have no stake in tomorrow,

for its is yet unknown

This leaves only one day-

Today

Any person can fight the battle

for just one day.

It is only when we add

the burdens of yesterday

and tomorrow that we break down.

The saddness comes not from

the experience of today

but the remorse of bitterness

for something which happened

yesterday and the dread of what

tomorrow may bring.
