Make This A Day

Make this a day. There is no gain In brooding over days to come; The message of today is plain, The future lips are ever dumb.

The work of yesterday is goneFor good or ill, let come what may; But now we face another dawnMake this a day.

Though yesterday we failed to see

The urging hand and earnest face That men call Opportunity; We failed to know the time or place For some great deed, what need to fret?

The dawn comes up a silver gray And golden moments must be metMake this a day.

The day is come; the time is now; No better hour was ever hereWho waits upon the when and how Remains forever in the rear.

Though yesterday was wasted stufr, Your feet may yet seek out the way, Tomorrow is not soon enoughMake this a day.
