One Day At A Time Poem by Khirod Dalpati

ONE DAY AT A TIME

Why do I aspire for the future
Or dream of the past - rolled away;
Which I know are never to be mine
Yet knowing the truth of today.

Hopes of the future will soon pass by
Gone are the memories of the past;
Which only have left the scars behind
At times afflicting the soul and heart.

Dreams and aspires would keep me dormant
Spending uselessly this precious moment;
Fools have fallen while toiled the might
Planning whole day - toiling in the night.

Truth I know - the present is mine
With fruitful deeds, one day at a time.
