Ella Wheeler Wilcox | Nov 1850 – Oct 1919 | American
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.
Concern yourself with but today,
Woo it, and teach it to obey
Your will and wish. Since time began
Today has been the friend of man;
But, in his blindness and his sorrow,
He looks to yesterday and tomorrow.
You, and today! A soul sublime,
And the great pregnant hour of time,
With G-d himself to bind the twain!
Go forth, I say – attain, attain!
With G-d Himself to bind the twain!.
