Stop a Moment

Post by Bobpower »

Stop a Moment

Remember yesterday with all your worries and your fear?
How you dreaded tomorrow and now it is here

Now that’s it’s here will you worry of yesterday?
How you wasted your time in the thoughts of today

Stop a moment, stand back, take a look,

Do you see what I see how you let today pass you by?
Worrying about things you could not change if you try

Did you see that opportunity pass within your sight?
When you were worrying about the left you should have been looking right

Stop a moment, stand back and take a look,

Are you trying to change tomorrow with your ignorance and dismay?
Instead of changing your heart and living for today

How many days will you waste in the circle of your fear?
Yesterday and tomorrow will never make it clear

God will change your heart he’ll show you in his book
Just stop for a moment, stand back and take a look.

Amen! Extremely true! I feel like during this COVID-19 time, this is a relatable and applicable poem! "So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself." -Matthew 6:34
"Even the smallest person can change the course of the future." - Galadriel

Tomorrow's worries steal the joy of today. So true. 👍
