Today Poem by Saliu Muideen

Today marks yet another point in space and time That shows you the journey so far.
Look back and thank God For sparing your life
And for all you've achieved so far
Today marks yet another time to reflect
Upon all the steps you've taken
And all the steps you will take.

Today is an inter-phase between yesterday and tomorrow
Where you correct the past mistakes
And focus on tomorrow's goals and targets

Today is an opportunity given to you
To prepare for tomorrow (which may never come)
And be thankful for yesterday (which has gone forever) .
Do not set argument between yesterday and today
So that you'll not forfeit tomorrow.

Yesterday is gone forever, so don't feel sad about it
Focus on today and live it well
Because tomorrow is just an illusion
Which may never come

Today marks another point of how far you've gone in life,
So be grateful for it.
And also, it marks the begining of another journey in life,
So make the best use of it.

Today marks another day
Which reminds you that you are getting close
to the purpose of your creation.

Today, as well, denotes that you've spent some time
out of the time alloted to you by Allah (swt)
And today also serves to remind you of your duties to Allah (swt) .

Today serves as a reminder of the fact that
As you grow older, you are getting closer to your grave.
Today serves as a reminder that you live today happily and be among the righteous

Today is another important day of your life
Therefore turn to your Lord in prayer
And seek forgiveness and guidance.
Today is a big and rare opportunity
To correct the errors of the past
And be prepared for the challenges of the future.

Today is not 'just another day'
It is an opportunity to live for what it is meant for.
And achieve the greatness for tomorrow.
Today is the right time take action
For you might not see tomorrow

Today is a golden opportunity
Which you're just among the few lucky ones
So, make the best use of today
And live hapilly as you can.

Smile, life is too short to be sad...
