God, my Tomorrow
I Wonder Today
If we could see our tomorrow as we live today’s ups and downs— Would we today adorn a smile Where now we wear a frown?
Would we today enjoy the simple meal Which now we push aside?
Would we today prize the uphill climb Where now with the challenge, we whine?
Would we today pause to praise Where now we just criticize?
Would we today accept advise Where now in haste, we despise?
Would we today show humility Where now we’re puffed with pride?
Would we today a soft answer give Where now we spew out bile?
Would we today forgive the barb Which now we bitterly resent?
Would we today more generous be Where now we withhold our talents?
Would we today give twice as much Where now we give much less?
Would we today try twice as hard, a friendship to preserve Where now impatient and thoughtless, we toss it to the curb?
God, give us that discerning eye to cherish our todays Remind us Lord, that our tomorrows are made from our todays. Amen.
