Today

I sat alone and watched

The masses stagger by

The strain of life on every face

The worry in each eye

Remorse, regret were mingled there

Fear on each face did play

Lay down your burden brother

You only live today

I sat and watched the robin

So peacefully at play

No worries of tomorrow

He sings but for today

A song I felt within my heart

I heard a soft voice say

Lay down your burden brother

You only live today

I sat and watched my friends go by

Worry greed on every side

But though I sought with greatest pain

I failed to see of any gain

So humbled now I turn and pray

For strength to live just for today
