Today Is The Only Day Poem by Valsa George

Today Is The Only Day

Rating: 5.0


Cry not on flowers wilted,
Count not on buds that canker might blight,
But marvel over beauty blossomed!

Extinct are our Yesterdays,
Illusory are our Tomorrows,
Today is all that exists,
What there is and all there is.
Today is our way up hill
The arena for action decreed
The stage set for the show
The tool and trade for life.

Today well lived leaves -
Every Yesterday
A reminiscence - sweet to relish!
Every Tomorrow
A vision glorious to chase!

Drool not, hence, over yester years
Rant not on chances missed
Greet Today, right in front!
Render it your respiration and perspiration
Turning Yesterday - a commemoration
Tomorrow - a stimulation
And life - a celebration!

We should marvel over beauty blossomed as beauty motivates mind. There is no need to cry for wilted flowers. There is no need to count the cankers those might blight the bud. Today is a perception. But tomorrow is a stimulation. Every situation in life that comes is joyous and we should celebrate life. Today is our present way to climb up the top of the hill. This poem is a stunning poem and very brilliantly and excellently penned...10
