ONLY TODAY...

Whatever I may want to do

It must be done today.

There is no other time.

Yesterdays are but today’s

Used and gone beyond my grasp.

Not one can ever be brought back;

Even as a bell can't be unrung

Or a spoken, unintended word

Be readily retrieved before

It reaches someone's ear.

Tomorrows are today’s awaiting birth.

Each comes unbidden in the night

To arrive full-fledged for me to use

And do whatever I may want to do.
