There are many fine things
which you mean to do someday,
under what you think will be
more favourable circumstances.

But the only time
that is surely yours
is the present,
hence this is the time
to speak the word
of appreciation and sympathy,
to do the generous deed
to forgive the fault
of a thoughtless friend,
to sacrifice self
a little more for others…

Today is the day
in which to express
your noblest qualities
of mind and heart,
To do at least
one worthy thing
Which you have
long postponed,
And to use your
God given qualities
For the enrichment
of some less fortunate
fellow traveler

Today you can
make your life…
significant and worth while.
The present is yours
to do with as you will.
