Today

Between two eternities we stand
Of the past and the future,
Today is life within lives
In its brief course we exist.

The glory of being alive
Shut the iron doors of the past,
For yesterday is but a dead dream
And the future – the unborn tomorrow.

Today well lived makes every yesterday
A dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope;
Live today, therefore
All that matters
Is right here and now,
The verity of this very moment
Is truly an unrepeatable miracle.
