Today

Why today? Many more days are ahead Plenty of time to think and plan Many options, many opportunities Best is yet to come Must move carefully A day is gone Will never it return New problems and challenges creep in, The previous today already lost Today’s today is heavy Loaded with undone tasks Today does not wait Time never stops Works left undone remain undone Life is a daily affair Does not return the left over As such, life means “today” Do it at the first moment Today is the best time Future options may be mere dreams May be struck and overtaken By sweeping choices and chores Hunting the lost today may be futile
