Five Minute Friday Writing Prompt—Rewind

We do not get a rewind on our days or how we chose to spend them once they are done. They fall into the annals of history at the end of every day. This little poem has put that thought into clear perspective for me. Perhaps it will for you too:

Yesterday is but a memory,

Tomorrow is only a vision.

But today well lived makes every yesterday a memory of happiness,

And every tomorrow a vision of hope.

When I googled this poem to find the author, I found this:

Yesterday is but a dream,

Tomorrow but a vision.

But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness,

And every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Look well, therefore, to this day. —Indian Proverb

Both are very nice and thoughtful, don’t you think? I pray you seldom need to rewind your thoughts, actions, or words from this day before it passes into memory. There will surely be fewer times for a rewind with this daily thought in mind.

Note about this post: I failed to post my Five Minute writing prompt for last week, and have decided to make it my Thursday Thoughts post for today. And now, back out to the garden.

This quote came straight into my mind when I saw our Five Minute Friday Writing Prompt word for this week—-COVER. I do not know who said it. If any FMF friends know, please tell me. Thank you.

What God covers man uncovers. What God uncovers man covers.
