Don't Compare Today With Yesterday

Yesterday Has Past, And The Present Is Today.

Don't compare today with yesterday,

Each day brings new things,

Happiness brings good times,

Living in the dark days of yesterday

only brings the rain.

Don't compare today with yesterday,

For yesterday's drama isn't here today,

Look at all the good that is happening today,

And think about all of the happy things that

begin today.

Don't compare today with yesterday,

Live each day as it is,

For every day can be a good day,

If we look for the good in it.

Take the moment of each hour,

Cherish them minute by minute.

Don't compare today with yesterday,

For yesterday has past,

And the present is today.
