Yesterday is gone
Tomorrow is yet to arrive
Today is all we have in our hands
If I waste my today in regrets about yesterday
On in worrying about what tomorrow might bring
I would have wasted the gift of today
Let the past and the future take care of themselves
I will just live in today and savor this moment

I agree with you. If we are miserable and have complaints about the present, in the future we will have bad memories of the past 🙂 So it is better to live the best we can in the present.

Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is yet to come. Today is where we are meant to live; not yesterday or tomorrow but this day.

Great poem, Sadje! I love this subject/topic – we only get to live in the here and now – today!!!
It seems to be a very important and popular topic. Bellissimo!!!
