Seize Today - A Poem

I will seize today

For it is shiny and new

Sparkling with promise

A gift wrapped

With moments for delight

To savor.

Anticipation.

I will let go of yesterday's

Wrinkled regrets

Faded failures

Broken bows of disappointment

Moments to forget

And forgive.

Finished.

I will not treasure tomorrow

For God has not promised

On earth

A gift out of reach

Withered moments to hug

And love.

Today.

Will you seize today?

"Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes." James 4:14
