I shall do so much in the years to come, But what have I done to-day?
I shall give out gold in princely sum, But what did I give to-day?
I shall lift the heart and dry the tear, I shall plant a hope in the place of fear,
I shall speak with words of love and cheer, But what have I done to-day?
I shall be so kind in the after while, But what have I been to-day?
I shall bring to each lonely life a smile, But what have I brought to-day?
I shall give to truth a grander birth, And to steadfast faith a deeper worth,
I shall feed the hungering souls of earth, But whom have I fed today?
This beautiful poem reminds me that today's moments are precious and that I have a great opportunity to give and share this very day in some way; and there are so many ways, some simple, some great. You may think that there is nothing you can do but you can do this: send a happy, loving thought to someone in the world today, send them your heart felt blessings and if there is no one to thank you for this loving gift, I thank you. I want you to know how important you are; how valuable. Thank you.
