Consider Today

I found this poem on a box of

Celestial Seasoning's

Raspberry Zinger Herbal Tea:

Consider Today
John Kendrick Bangs

Is anybody happier because you passed his way?
Does anyone remember that you spoke to him today?

This day is almost over,
And its tolling time is through;
Is there anyone to utter now,
A friendly word for you?

Can you say tonight in passing,
That you helped a single person,
Of the many that you passed?

Is a single heart rejoicing,
Over what you did or said?
Does one whose hopes were fading
Now with courage look ahead?

Think not on yesterday, nor trouble borrow
On what may be in store for you tomorrow;

But let today be your incessant care-
The past is past, tomorrow's in the air.
Who gives today the best that in him lies
Will find the road that leads to clearer skies.
