regret and sorrow, is in the hands of
the Mighty Love that can bring sweet
waters out of the bitterest desert
the love that can make the wrong
things right, that can turn weeping
into laughter, that can give beauty for
ashes, the garment of praise for the
spirit of heaviness, joy of the morning
for the woe of night.
Save for the beautiful memories
that linger, sweet and tender like the
perfume of roses, in the heart of the
day that is gone, I have nothing to do
with Yesterday.
And the other day l do not worry
about is Tomorrow. Tomorrow, with
all its possible adversities, it's burdens,
its perils, it's large promises and poor
