A poem .....

The following is a poem that I found in my youth. I have kept it with me in my journal as a reminder. I often enjoy rereading the things I have written or collected over the years. The following writing is NOT mine. I did not write this. I am not sure as to who the original author is. I wanted to share it with my readers. TODAY There are two days in every week about which we should not worry. Two days which should be kept from fear and apprehension. One of these days is yesterday with it's mistakes and cares, it's faults and blunders, it's aches and pains. Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday. We can not erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone. The other day we should not worry about is tomorrow with it's possible adversities, it's burdens, it's large promise and poor performance. Tomorrow is beyond our immediate control. Tomorrows 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 unborn. This leaves only one day~ Today. 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 not the experience of today that drives us mad - it is the remorse or bitterness for something which happened yesterday and the dread of what will happen tomorrow.
