Living Today For Tomorrow Poem by Babatunde Aremu

Living Today For Tomorrow



I have vivid images of the past
Yesterday"s tales are in me
I know today in parts
But tomorrow is shrouded in mystery
For me not to be taken unaware
I draw from the past
Marrying it with the present
To shape my tomorrow
I live my today for tomorrow
Making sure that lives are touched
My life today is oblivious of tomorrow
If I live today carelessly
My tomorrow will be affected
A life without tomorrow
Is like chaff separated from grain
So, I must live today,
As if tomorrow exist not.
