This Day. Poem by Fay Slimm

This Day.

Rating: 5.0


Today has all
the hallmarks of greatness.

If it is proclaimed.

Nothing has ever
before been this day.

Nor will be again.

We must seize each
moment or it will fade.

It will not remain.

Grasp at the chances
found now in today.

It can't be reclaimed.

you wrote this poem on that day, so proclaimed. And I read it today, and there's no other poem like it, it has a life that now courses through me reminding me that today is so special, I can look into my lover's eyes and see a whole new glow, fresh serenity, eternity around the corner flowing into tomorrow, if it is proclaimed. mark
