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
