Only Today Counts

What is now?
What brings today this day
That makes Yesterday the Past
And sorrows gone away?

The air of my own destiny
Beckons to follow the right path
And pushes me-like the wind-
Always from behind! ...

Tomorrow is but a day
In the future!
Maybe it will come to you
The same as me...

Tomorrow is a dear wish,
A great desire from the heart
And an anxious dream
Awaiting to come true one day...

I and my faculties
Contemplate poignant ideas
That can challenge my mind
Further on without fears...

Now, I realize that opportunity
Is the first prerogative
This moment,
To grasp, hold and live for!
Today is but another day
To fully enjoy with my goal
Vividly present in my mind...
