Normal day,
let me be aware
of the treasure you are.
Let me learn from you,
love you,
bless you
before you depart.
Let me not pass you by in quest
of some rare and perfect tomorrow.
Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so.
-Mary Jean Irion

May we never forget the treasure that exists before us.

Beautiful. There’s so much we take for granted! Thank you!
I myself had to learn that I had these treasures. It can be nostalgic almost. How did you interpret this poem yourself?

I can relate to this very well as I have spent years wishing the present day away for “tomorrow”, “next week”, “next month”, even “next year”.
