You and To-Day by Ella Wheeler Wilcox — Read

With every rising of the sun / Think of your life as just begun.

The past has shrived and buried deep / All yesterdays-there let them sleep,

Nor seek to summon back one ghost / Of that innumerable host.

Concern yourself with but to-day; / Woo it and teach it to obey

Your wish and will. Since time began / To-day has been the friend of man.

But in his blindness and his sorrow / He looks to yesterday and to-morrow.

You and to-day! a soul sublime / And the great pregnant hour of time.

With God between to bind the train, / Go forth, I say-attain-attain.
