Today!

 

A friend posted this on her blog this morning.  I had never read it before, but I really like it and I'm going to hang it somewhere I can read it often.  

Today

So here hath been dawning
Another blue day:
Think, wilt thou let it
Slip useless away?
Out of Eternity
This new day is born:
In to Eternity
At night will return.
Behold it aforetime
No eye ever did:
So soon it forever
From all eyes is hid.
Here hath been dawning
Another blue day:
Think, wilt thou let it
Slip useless away?
—Thomas Carlyle

I just spent 2 1/2 hours catching up on blogs. I have three things to say after reading this poem:
1) Ouch...
2) ...but thanks for posting it.
3) It's the last blog I'm reading today. I'm going to go play with my kids.
