Don't Trust Tomorrow
Don’t Trust Tomorrow
Don’t trust tomorrow,
You might not be in it,
If there’s work to do,
You’d be wise to begin it...
Don’t count on the future,
Or loiter in the past,
All we’re given is today,
And that’s fading fast...
Don’t overlook today,
It’s where life is found,
It’s the home of happiness,
It’s where peace and love abound...
Don’t miss your life
Looking first ahead, then behind,
Keep your eye on the here,
You’ll be surprised what you find.
Joseph L. Campanello (c) 2023
