We Have Lived and We Saw Yesterday

We have lived and we saw yesterday, what a blessing it was
Because every day is a day of thanksgiving,
we live in hopes of seeing tomorrow,
which is so close, and yet so far away
until we cannot see into it,

so we know not what it holds or what it will bring.
We have lived and we saw yesterday
we live in hopes of seeing tomorrow

which is so close yet it is not promised to any of us,
so let us do all the good we can

because tomorrow just isn’t promised to any of us.
