The What Ifs

The What Ifs

From time to time they hit me
Like a rock upon my head
I can feel them the moment
That I get up from my bed!

It isn’t that monster from childhood
That brings the “oh no” from my lips
But that dreaded of all grown up fears-
The terrible “What Ifs”.

What if I had done this differently
What if the sky should fall
What if I should have answered my phone
For that last landline call…

What if I had gone to work earlier
What if I had not stopped to complain
What if I had spent more wisely
And not let funds go down the drain…

But today I have determined
To let them bother me no more
I know that God forgives my mistakes
And has good things in store.

So when those “what ifs”
Try to sneak up in my mind today
I just say a little prayer
And send them on their way!

This Moment Will Not Come Again

Take the time to show your love
For family and for friend
For this moment, this bit of life
Will not come again.
Don't fret about the mistakes
That you made yesterday
Or the failures of the day before
Seek forgiveness if you wronged another
Hurt a friend, family or brother.
Make it right, do what you must do
But don't let guilt and discouragement
Be the ruler over you.
Make the most of each hour of the day
Be loving, gentle, kind and pray
For all of those God sends your way.
Enjoy this moment and in each find delight
Bask in the sunshine and enjoy God's light.
Enjoy each treasure that God will send
For this Moment will not come again.
