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.
