Best Today Poems

Today we have naming of parts. Yesterday,
We had daily cleaning. And tomorrow morning,
We shall have what to do after firing. But today,
Today we have naming of parts. Japonica

Happy the man, and happy he alone,
He who can call today his own:
He who, secure within, can say,
Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.

The sun got out of bed
Swam across the ocean
Just to shine on you today

I have no heart today.
I think I have lost it somewhere along the way
From yesterday to today.

'Am I, at bottom, that fervent little Spanish Catholic child who chastised herself for loving toys, who forbade herself the enjoyment of sweet foods, who practiced silence, who humiliated her pride, who adored symbols, statues, burning candles, incense, the caress of nuns, organ music, for whom Communion was a great event? I was so exalted by the idea of eating Jesus's flesh and drinking His blood that I couldn't swallow the host well, and I dreaded harming the it.
...

I shall die in Paris, in a rainstorm,
On a day I already remember.
I shall die in Paris- it does not bother me-
Doubtless on a Thursday, like today, in autumn.

and we are red as blood.

hooray say the roses, today is Wednesday

To Alan Michell

Vixi duellis nuper idoneus
Et militavi non sine gloria
...

The gold-hoarder walked in his palace park and with him walked his troubles. And over his head hovered worries as a vulture hovers over a carcass, until he reached a beautiful lake surrounded by magnificent marble statuary.

He sat there pondering the water which poured from the mouths of the statues like thoughts flowing freely from a lover's imagination, and contemplating heavily his palace which stood upon a knoll like a birth-mark upon the cheek of a maiden. His fancy revealed to him the pages of his life's drama which he read with falling tears that veiled his eyes and prevented him from viewing man's feeble additions to Nature.

A rose can say I love you and want you to be mine,
A rose can say I thank you for being so very kind,
A rose can say congratulations, whatever the occasion may be,
A rose can say I miss you and wish you were here with me,

They tell me that euphoria is the feeling of feeling wonderful,

Today I have the agility of a Greek god and the appetitite of a
Victorian.

And tasted it, and found it good!

Today my mother died
Silently without a sign
Never inkling about her sadness
Even though we filled her with madness

Though sets today,
Will certainly rise tomorrow,
Every opportunity,

This day, Today, was a brimming glass.
This day, Today, was an immense wave.
This day was all the Earth.

Didn't do anything extraordinary today,
Didn't do anything ordinary extraordinarily well either,

Just being happy for no reason at all- besides the fact

Why isn't anything happening in the senate?

the people of the east

Losing the three last night,
Takeing them back today,

For the first time they took me out into the sun today.
And for the first time in my life I was aghast
that the sky is so far away

Friendship is there where ever you go
Friendship is there when you over dose
Friendship loves and Friendship cares
Friendship is life with a little dares

And so recently, like let's say TODAY, I fell in love.
And this is a very big deal because…..so say it only lasts
for a week or two, or at minimum until tomorrow, to have
an emotion at this point, with what I've gone through lately-

Ricky was 'L' but he's home with the flu,

So many times we do not see,
that all of life is a memory:
Of days gone past both bad and good,
and so we dream, as dream we should:

I count it joy every day I rise up and walk--
not everybody can do that
and someday I won't be able to anymore--
...

A faith with trust
This pledge to give
In thought and deed
As one shall live...
...

To be counted amongst the living is a blessing.
To be amongst the living gives you one more chance to be...
It's another chance to bring that dream into existence.
That dream is worth pursuing.
...

Oranges and grapes refuse to grow in the cold.
Today I sing and dance, refuse to grow old.
Yet all the same, time is tyrant and ruthless,
Unfolds my wrinkling years, it is relentless.

....a gray and rainy day today
I wonder if it will be
....a gray and rainy day

by my Mommy's sewing chair.
I learned scissors can cut paper
and scissors can cut hair...

paints vermilion
on the forehead of the sky.

(On the Anniversary of Lincoln's Birth)

Father, Father Abraham,
Today look on us from above;

Sweet love, renew thy force! Be it not said
Thy edge should blunter be than appetite,
Which but today by feeding is allayed,
Tomorrow sharpened in his former might.

Within my palm confined
It glittered in the shining sun
A galaxy defined

It rattled to and fro.

The gate I used to know.

but didn't use the phone.

I thought about your lovely smile
I thought about the fragrance that surrounds you
I thought about the softness of your skin

To call me a 10 year old
This is the last day
I’d better enjoy the company of my age to the fullest
Cause tomorrow’s my 11th birthday

I spent today looking at myself
...what I wanted
...what I could do to get it
...

the shadow of today
clouds our minds

Father today I want to pray for all the different people in the world. People that may not be the best looking, or have eyes that bulge, teeth that point, big ears or crippled joints. People of colour, from the very dark to palest of pale, the little people, the big people. Anyone that is different Lord, today is their day and for them I pray.

Father, please take the narrow minded, the bully's and name callers to task. Teach them to look beyond the facial masks and disfigured bodies, teach them to see what is truly real, to discover how truly beautilful these people are. Show them Lord how much these wonderful people contrilbute to the world.

What is it you remember? - the summer mornings
Down by the river at Richmond with a girl,
And as you kissed, clumsy in bathing costumes,
...

today is the yesterday
of tomorrow
today is also the tomorrow
of yesterday
...

Today should be remembered—
Not only for its feat,
But there's no other like it;
And thus, it is unique.
...

Today I will go once again
Into life, into haggling, into market,
...

~ Many A Mother Is Forgotten Today

Many a mother is forgotten today
For whatever reasons there are.
...

Something is special, today you ping,
The holy song of freedom we all sing.

Ring you ring the ring, you feel zing,
...

Life’s Yesteryear of Yesterday’s
Guides your path for today’s parade,
It is always today.... tomorrow never comes,
When you close the door on yesterday
...

Rain, rain, fall today,
Wash away my debts to pay,
...

Little drops of water from the distant past
Ripples rushes and runs into today
Deluge of impotence overflowing

it's such a special day
today,
the sun shines bright,
the birds chirp and sing high on the summit,

Title was given to me by a good friend of mine Pam.
The flowers we planted need to see the sun today
So unravel the sheets and wash the stains away
Off your sweet skin, step out of the lay

I sit down peacefully with my book.
Upon the blank page I look.
As i tap my pen patiently, patiently,
Patiently waiting in my writing nook.

The love today,
is it what we try to find?
Does the world force us to fight?
Does it feel right
...

Today is that day, the day that carried
a desperate light that since has died.
Don't let the squatters know:
let's keep it all between us,

Coming back home is like opening the doors again,
like getting in the past with the hope it might change,
But sometimes the future gets there first
And sees us coming.
...

Brittle beauty, that nature made so frail,
Whereof the gift is small, and short the season;
Flow'ring today, tomorrow apt to fail,
Tickle treasure, abhorrèd of reason;

As the wind blew through my hair.
I saw God today in the clear blue sky,
I felt small and humble there.

I sent my child to school today
With his little lunch box

When he came home he said his friend
...

Father today I come to you with a heavy heart, a heart that is saddened and crying out for your help. Father this week a family is in great pain, for they have lost a loved one in such a brutal way. A hard working woman of 40 years old, walking home from work, minding her own business, but she didn’t make it Lord. No my Father, she didn’t make it, she was followed, beaten, raped and murdered. A mother of 5 sons, working hard to save money to send to the Philipines for her sons and husband to come to Canada to live a better life. Oh Father, now she ‘s not here any longer, taken by a ruthless, heartless killer.
I’m told Father that I should pray for this killer, forgive me my King, this I can not do. Maybe another time perhaps, another day when I can think clearly. Today I focus my prayers on the deceased woman and her precious family.
The pain will be heavy and hard to deal with but with your help Father anything is possible. Please Lord put the blood of Jesus over them and give them the strength they need to move forward. Father over these next few days and weeks, their eyes will fill with tears, their minds filled with questions asking why did this happen. Only you can pull them through Lord, only you have the answers, only you can soothe them and give them your heavenly love.
Father the perpetrator beat this poor lady so bad, that the family couldn’t indentify her so it would definitely appear that she suffered tremendously. Father I want to believe that you took her to be with you long before the brutal blows were landed, that she was already sitting by your side.

Merit is great fact, in fact
Varies from person to person that
And from two sides used;
...

Cry not on flowers wilted,
Count not on buds that canker might blight,
But marvel over beauty blossomed!

Extinct are our Yesterdays,
...

spoken about fairy land and fairy tale
I never write about a whale
but oft about a gale
know exactly who wrote cakes and ale
...

Filled with fog, my mind
Cannot think at all today
Maybe, tomorrow
...

I'was first that my hopes, the angel came to remove my tear*
The rainbow i'm so sorry if today i'have sadness*
The blue sky i'm so sorry if today i'have sadness*
My dove i'm so sorry if today i'have sadness*
...

We are writing today many verses
By command and grace of God,
By virtue and perseverance!
We are writing for God's service,

Blue sky yesterday
Grey today
Did the blue sky
Go away?

The grand son of today

The universe shrinks into a black hole

It was a year ago today
Twin towers built of steel and stone
Still stood beside the water’s edge
To greet the final morning dawn

I go to the fields
Of poetry today,
To glean whatever
Is found by the way.
...

Graceful glances of Earth at Moon
and there the tri colour-
Orange, White and Green
the essence of fire, purity and peace.

A terrible evening that had my feet going underneath me I had to deliver a note all the way reaching there of urgent breaking speed signals I saw a girl I had seen once in a movie who rode a Latino car in the street my car refused to start up I asked few guys around to push us through the steep road I could not find a breathing place what happened next is strange memory my pouch that contained some valuables like my old sim card jacket and keys with some extra buttons of my jeans went with evening for the emptiness was too much to fill in the gaps a man came and said his prayers the moon was full and dancing with shadows that would need some classical poetry to say I was lead to the rest room on the way back it was all sickness I ended with a workshop to sit in for repair for three hours today I came after sleeping long and thinking the waste of time to put confusions here on the paper that looks like a screen hiding lots of emotions and many truths

I say to Waris Shah today, speak from your grave And add a new page to your book of love
Once one daughter of Punjab wept, and you wrote your long saga; Today thousands weep, calling to you Waris Shah:
Arise, o friend of the afflicted; arise and see the state of Punjab, Corpses strewn on fields, and the Chenaab flowing with much blood.

For My Dearest Daddy,
whose birthday is today,
he is not in his own house,
but in God's house,
...

Shining tears of my eyes
are my gifts today for you.
The loving thoughts
And listening ears;
...

you are quiet today and i do not
ask you the origin of such silence,
black and smoky and devouring
even my own sound now
...

Miss Piggy regrets she’s unable to lunch today, madam..
Miss Piggy regrets she’s unable to lunch today:
That tastelessly named flu’s got her

A sacrifice you make today
Will never ever be gone
A sacrifice you make today
Will soon be passed on

Today's Marathon Day here in London.
An unpleasant image strikes me:
suppose the journey to the Pearly Gates
looks just like the TV coverage of the marathon?
...

A soldier's curse is not the copper pay,
stationed here in this gods-forsaken place!
I'd bribe a centurion to leave today.

Chilly! It's very chilly today!
Whistling winds sweep the air
Playing havoc with one's hair
Scarves pulled tightly
