Better Than Before.

Brijmohansajal 1946 (India)

Free verse
What we had yesterday
And past, before that.......
What we are today,
At present, before this.........
When analyzing...........
We get answers.......
So we can say,
Where we stand today,
Loses and gains,
Facing shocks
And what not..........

Our today is the
Answers to itself............
The fact that we are content
Today.............
What could be better than this................

About this poem

We must always think that today is better than yesterday, If our today is better than nothing is better than this.
