There are two days in every week
About which we should not worry,
Two days which should be kept free
From fear and apprehension.
One of these days is Yesterday
With all its mistakes and cares,
Its faults and blunders,
Its aches and pains
Yesterday has passes forever
Beyond our control.
All the money in the world
Cannot bring back Yesterday.
We cannot undo a single act
We performed;
We cannot erase a single word
We said.
Yesterday is gone forever.
The other day we should not
Worry about is Tomorrow
With all its possible adversities,
Its burdens, its large promise,
And its poor performance;
Tomorrow is also beyond
Our immediate control.
Tomorrow’s sun will rise,
Either in splendour or
Behind a mask of clouds,
But it will rise.
Until it does,
We have no stake in Tomorrow,
For it is yet to be born.
This leaves only one day.
Any person can fight the battle
Of just one day.
It is when you and I add the burdens
Of those two awful eternities
Yesterday and Tomorrow
That we break down.
It is not the experience of Today
That drives a person mad,
It is the remorse or bitterness
Of something which happened Yesterday
And the dread of what Tomorrow may bring.
Let us, therefore, live but one day at a time.
*********************************************
The time to be happy is now.
The place to be happy is here.
The only way to be happy
Is to make others so.

Dimdima is the Sanskrit word for ‘drumbeat’. In olden days, victory in battle was heralded by the beat of drums or any important news to be conveyed to the people used to be accompanied with drumbeats.
