Who lives for tomorrow, who for today.

The Score
Life is a game, a game we all play.
Some live for tomorrow, others for today.
But in the end when my life was ore'.
I knelt before God as he tallied my score.
Between all of the good and bad things I did.
I knelt before him with nothing hid.
Once back on Earth, I indulged in temporal cares.
I wish I could have lived as if he was standing there.
The perfect example Christ set for me.
Wasn't that hard to follow, It's just I could not see.
Once blinded by cares the world seem to adore,
I awoke from my dream with a chance to even the score.

“Some live for tomorrow, others for today.”
