Poem of the day

 

Life Is Today

Life is not a long road —
it is one day.

You are born in one moment,
you live in one moment,
and you will leave this world in one moment.

Everything important happens now.
Not yesterday.
Not tomorrow.
Today.

Yesterday is already gone.
You can’t touch it.
It’s only a memory.

Tomorrow hasn’t come.
It’s only a thought.

But today is real.
Today is your chance.
Today is your time.

So don’t say, “I want a happy life.”
That’s too big, too far, too unknown.

Say this instead:
“I want a happy day.”

Because if you learn to live one happy day,
and then another,
and then one more —
you will see that a happy life has already begun.
