I wrote this yesterday – September 28, 2025 – about today with a view of tomorrow. We often have difficulty letting go of yesterday thereby impacting how we live today, and yet worried so much about tomorrow, that we have difficulty being present today. Be present and shine your light.
Yesterday is now gone and tomorrow’s another day
Today has arrived and it’s up to each to make it pay
Today is no longer the past yet it’s a moment that will soon be gone
Tomorrow’s arrival means today’s dusk has now turned into dawn
So today we make choices and create lasting memories
We do what is now important and may be considered exemplary
We ignore the noise around us and focus on the biggest rocks
Living as if our last day and not stuck with the orthodox
Should tomorrow arrive, and today has been put to bed
The new day will be much better with a new start just ahead
We’ll have our yesterday knowing what we did was good
With no reason to look back or have our legacy misunderstood
Today is our present and also is a gift
A day to be kind to others and not let anything go adrift
It matters not the weather nor if it’s dark or light
Today we live with purpose; our words and actions shining bright
