2 days (a really nice poem)

Two Days We Should Not Worry  

There are two days in every week about which we should
not worry,
 two days which should be kept free from fear and
apprehension.

One of these days is Yesterday with all 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 cannot bring back
Yesterday.

We cannot undo a single act we performed;
 we cannot erase a single word we said.
Yesterday is gone forever.

The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow
 with all its possible adversities, its burdens,
its large promise and its poor performance;
 Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.

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 is yet to be born.

This leaves only one day, Today.
 Any person can fight the battle of just one day.
It is when you and I add the burdens of those two
awful eternities
 Yesterday and Tomorrow that we break down.

It is not the experience of Today that drives a person
mad,it is the remorse or bitterness of something which
happened Yesterday and the dread of what Tomorrow may
bring.

 Let us, therefore, Live but one day at a time
(A poem that a friend sent)
