Duty an unknown stream

Matthew 6:34 New English Translation (NET Bible)

³⁴ So then, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.

Today has enough trouble of its own.

Duty

Yesterday is gone it's no use to drag it with me

I just can’t let go as some of me seems left behind

I surely was not alone when I lost some of being free

for I was well in the know about moments being kind

Will I extend yesterday now deep into my actions?

Will the lessons I've learned still, pass me by?

Or will I embrace today with accumulated fractions

of what was earned in the past to deliver me from lies

Tomorrow just a daydream a little past my reach

It will keep moving forward as I will try to follow it

Like an unknown stream barely flowing past my reach

The Son-shine touches every part of it as I'm absorbing this

Do I live now part of my future in a place not well-known?

Am I enjoying now the Life that the flesh can’t understand?

Is it not my duty though to share fully all I know and own

with others bound in strife who don't notice a helping hand?

Is the life I live not mine at all in reason and deed?

Is all I encounter just short of an accepted illusion?

Is all that I give just enough to supply all their need?

Is love to abound here to deliver me from delusion?
