TO-DAY by ANNETTE WYNNE

First Line: TO-MORROW, WHAT DOES IT MATTER?
Last Line: AND GRATEFULLY LIVE EACH TO-DAY!
Subject(s): JANUARY; TIME;
TO-MORROW, what does it matter?
To-day—that is here!
To lend or to spend for my purpose—
All without hindrance or tear,
To-day only matters—to-morrow's
A dream and a fear!

To-morrow, I never shall own it—
To-day—that is mine!
What if I take it and make it
To something divine!

So shall I never fear sorrow,
Dear Time, if you go soon or stay,
So shall I fear no to-morrow
And gratefully live each to-day!
