LEAVE THE CLOUDS BEHIND
by: Kay Hoffman
Turn your face toward the sun
And leave the clouds behind;
Today is yours, God-given,
A precious gift of time.
Yesterday's beyond recall,
It cannot be redone:
Tomorrow is still unclaimed;
It may or may not come.
Too oft we worry over
The bridge we'll never cross
And miss the joys of today,
To be forever lost.
If there's a kindness you can do
For another's sake,
Do it now hile there is time,
Tomorrow may be too late.
Keep your face toward the sun
And happiness you'll find;
Cherish the gift of each new day
And leave the clouds behind.
