Only today matters
Pondering tomorrow
Will never count
If you don't learn
To live in the moment
And enjoy the gift
Presented to you today!
It is only fair to make
It perfect walking on
The given path of my own
Destiny as the wind
Pushes me from behind
Giving a gentle nudge
In the right direction!
Promises of another day
May not be ours to keep
And if you pine and weep
For yesterday's lost you'll
Not ever feel the joy of
What is before you to
Grasp and treasure!
The future is a mere wish
Great desires of the heart
An anxious dream waiting
To become a reality!
Today is my chance
To fulfill the goals I long for
Vividly present in my mind
While hope is still alive
Despite the adversity
We are facing today!

the beginning of the poem is stunning......whatever today brings that makes yesterday past..........brainstorming line..........................
To live in the present moment...to see things as they really are and not color them by our past...this is true peace. It is unity and oneness with the entire universe. Loved this poem!
Very insightful contentof reflection upon the day/moment that is now flowing... Only Today Counts is an encouraging message for us to fill up our day-to-day moments to grasp, hold and live for! Thanks a lot, dear Romeo, for sharing fine poetry.
