Live For Today Poem by L MILTON HANKINS
Live For Today
Be not afraid, the realm of darkness surely comes
When least you expect the black night of the soul
When you think with confidence tomorrow borne
The very best of you; made you completely whole.
When least you expect the black night of the soul
All your hopes and dreams caught up in tomorrow
Think not distant thoughts beyond the days you see
And do not let the next day's troubles borrow
Today's happiness; ‘tis more than a cliché I think
To pass one's days in gloom and dread of what may come
And fail to live and grow and love in the present hour,
To concentrate on the great beyond and miss your home.
When you think with confidence tomorrow borne,
Stop; then grasp the sun's shine and thunder's storm
For today's grandest moments proffer your truest self
And be thankful for the very day that you were born.
