Today Poem by Rima Kane

Somewhere in time it's raining
Somewhere in time it's hot
Someone today has died,
all alone, lying in the dark
No one expected death
to show up on this day
but a life has ended on this earth
and the tears will fall like rain
Why do we tend to think
that tomorrow will always come
Tomorrow has not been promised
and today is not yet done
Don't make the same mistake
Live today for all you can
Don't worry about tomorrow
'Cause today is still at hand
