Live For Today

Can't worry about tomorrow
it is yet to come
no need to dwell on yesterday
for it has come and gone

No need to sweat the small stuff
life is to darn short
live for each precious moment
that's what it's all about

Life is full of challenge
with many ups and downs
can fill your days with laughter
and at times can bring on frowns

Don't put off until tomorrow
what you can do today
yesterday now buried in the past
another time and place

Yesterday gone forever
tomorrow not yet here
live for each precious moment
you hold the magic key
