I look ahead to better things and all the good the future brings must surely come to those who wait patiently
When I look back I can choose to see the good and bad selectively so I find comfort in my memories

But we can't buy tomorrow and we don't own yesterday but by grace we're freely givin today
No we can't touch tomorrow can't hold on to yesterday so it's better just to live for today

It's taken me a while to see some of what God's planned for me you know I still get anxious over what is yet to be
And when I look into the past at all the things that didn't last you know I still wonder why they go so fast

Cause we can't buy tomorrow and we don't own yesterday but by grace we're freely givin today
No we can't touch tomorrow can't hold on to yesterday so it's better just to live for today

Rad802,

Try to make today last in a good, and giving way. That will last for you, and give back rich rewards.

Now if I could only live my own advise.

"No we can't touch tomorrow can't hold on to yesterday so it's better just to live for today"

Repeated for emphasis, and the point is wonderfuly made.

Wise and well said!

All we have is NOW, indeed.

Love,
