Look to Tomorrow

Each day you sit and ponder
The wrong that you've been dealt
Is a day that you're subtracting
From the future owed yourself.

Each day you shun your neighbor
Deprives you of the chance
To form a lasting friendship
Or invite a pleasing glance.

Life's too short to dwell on
The hurts that filled the past,
Bur should be spent on building
Happy memories that can last.

You can find sweet comfort knowing
That you've done your very best
To make your life worth sharing,
And to God can leave the rest.
