650. GIVE TODAY ITS FULL VALUE

Don’t throw your today
  Against tomorrow.

    Don’t throw your today
  Against yesterday.

Allow today to grow and glow,
  To sing and dance in its own way.

Like yesterday, today too
  Has much to contribute.
Like tomorrow, today too
  Has much to contribute.
Give today its full value.
Let it play its role unhindered,
  Unobstructed.
Let it play its role in full majesty,
    Sovereign,
    Alone.
Sri Chinmoy, Transcendence-Perfection, Agni Press, New York, 1975
