Love Today

A Poem by Rita L. Sev
"

...

"

Dear Yesterday,

I’m grateful

for the memories and lessons,

for experience and joys

beyond all measure

 

Dear Tomorrow,

Here’s my promise:

you will not go to waste;

I’ll unwrap you with the care

reserved for treasure

 

I’m thankful to you both

for you frame all that I am;

I gain the wisdom

coming either way

 

I know this to be true,

that the present would be naught

if not for past and future.

Love,

Today

Very simple but important lessons in this....learn from yesterday and embrace each new day with the gratefulness for having gained it. After all our days are finite..nothings promised. Wonderful poem Rita...
