Yesterday has gone away with the wind
like the flames in a fire extinguished
after providing heat for an entire night
Yet.....unlike the re-lighting of the flame
it is gone.....never to return
only to be recollected in one's mind
distant memories.....
however dear or dreary

Today....we must cherish
every second, every minute, every hour
for it could be our last
make what may be small count
for the insignificant is meaningful
squeeze the essential quality
from every action portrayed
make every breath you take
account for something positive
for the beauty in life is to die
and be remembered for....
Spiritual Greatness

Tomorrow....Tomorrow....Tomorrow
is so near....yet so far away
It is not assured the next dawn we'll see
but yet and still I pray
that I will be thankful when I awaken
so still I must plan to make my day....
my month....my year
gear....towards achieving the ultimate
in everything I do
For there is a higher being
who plays a bigger part
in me fulfilling my destiny
