Just for Today - 08/09/18 12:27 PM
Another "lingering" project that seems ready to post..
In 1921 Dr. Frank Crane wrote a list of 10 daily commitments that I've found so perfect for daily living...so here it is in a song: Just for Today
-------------------
Just for today
Live by the hour;
Just for today
Be like a flower;
Happy for what may come your way;
Bloom to greet the precious day.
Just for today
Don't be a changer;
Just for today
Pray for a stranger;
Do something good with no return;
Misunderstood is no concern.
So much beauty in life deserves my love;
And with my love I know I'll erase some sadness;
Today's the only day--
There's no one to take my place;
I'll live out today with grace;
A simple pace.. and borrow
On tomorrow.
Just for today
Ponder a question;
Just for today
Give a suggestion;
Don't let the moment slip away.
Get up and bloom without delay.
So much beauty in life deserves my love;
And with my love I know I'll erase some sadness;
Today's the only day--
And no one will take my place;
I'll live out today with grace;
And on my mind's face
An angel's smile
Just for today.
