A SANSKRIT TRANSLITERATION,
Traditional



Look to the day, today,
For day is all we have,
It is the very breath of life.
In its brief, twenty-four-hour course,
From sunrise to sunrise next,
Dawn the real and the true,
The absolute of existence,
The bliss of growth,
The splendor of action,
And the glory of power --


For history is over and closed,
The past, gone, finished.
And future no more than vision,
A dream concoction,
Mind’s eye creates the fantasy
That we have one more day,
Nothing guarantees tomorrow

But today, well lived,
Doing our best with time at hand,
Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness,
And should there a tomorrow dawn,
Then tomorrow becomes expectant,
And future fills with hope.

Look well, therefore, to this day.
