Prayer For Today Poem by Venkateswaran Krishnan Sreenivasan

Let tomorrow be like today for better or worse
I have few earthly ambitions to nurse
This is the prayer of a contented soul
Grateful to the Lord for his blessings in whole

The master craftsman of the body and mind
Time works wonders in all from behind
Attuned to Nature’s all pervasive way
Prune your thoughts that lead you astray

Introspect and take stock of everyday
Tomorrow will dawn as today in its sway
As the sun draws his veil, meditate and pray
Your strength and will for ever to stay

Today is akin to a running stream
To bathe and swim and in joy to scream
Tomorrow exists only in our dream
Hold today in your life supreme

Probing into your past brings painful tears
Furrowing into the future feeds phantom fears
Living in the present lends lasting cheers
Pray to the power divine for healthy years
