Always Today

Tomorrow never really gets here
staying just out of reach,
unlike yesterday gone by
with what it had to teach.

Now there's a lesson we can learn:
looking back at what was taught,
unlike the elusive future
with wisdom to still be bought.

Some will eagerly anticipate
what yet remains to learn,
while we with more experience
look back sometimes to yearn.

Reading happiness into history
can be romantically untrue,
but preferable to what yet
remains to be lived through.
