what day is it?
it’s today
it’s only today
everyday is today
even the mighty earth
rotates in honour of today
it is always today
whatever vows you fulfill
you can only do so today
however intensely you love
it can be felt…today
if you must forgive, even forget
yes, today!
celebrate, be mesmerised by today
observe today not by the hours
but by its events
it has not flowed from yesterday
today is embedded within you
carry it as a gift, not a burden
to discard in favour of tomorrow
what day is it?
how many todays will you have?

inspired by a question someone asked me “what day is it?”
to which I had cheekily replied “it’s today”

What a great reply – and the fact that we never is how many today’s we have suggests we should make each one count in some small way

Very true, we must make each today count. Thank you for your comment, so sorry I seem to have missed it earlier.

Dear Sonya,
This is a wonderful, beautiful, powerful poem which I’m enjoying today. When tomorrow arrives, I’ll be enjoying it again today. Next week, when I revisit it, I’ll be enjoying it again today.
It’s an amazing fact that, while our minds may venture into the past (which is but a memory) or into the future (which is not guaranteed), these bodies we call ourselves live absolutely and only *now.*
Thank you for this!
All good wishes,
robert

‘Living in the moment’ given a lovely Sonya Kassam twist! We do tend to forget today while looking back at yesterday and awaiting tomorrow. Welcome back!

This poem was the perfect example of “today”, it was entirely spontaneous.
