Today

There are so many talks
Going on about yesterday,
And such a bunch of files
of talks about tomorrow
Is there a meaning to today?

What is done a minute ago
already becomes past, the next
and we live looking forward
to tomorrow - in remembering
what constituted yesterday

Have we ever wondered
If we could enjoy the present?
One step at a time,
shouldn't that be the principle?
Is today just a combination
of past and future?

The mind anticipates for the next
And man brags on about the past, 
Yet it is written that past righteousness does not save the one who perverts his ways
Nor do future intentions of holiness
Justify he who still lives in sin

What has happened to today? 
Though we might have been
Or plan to be rich and successful
The present state is sole factor for consideration -
Yet we fail to appreciate the uniqueness of each day;
Too busy planning tomorrow
Or too wearied regretting yesterday...
