No future, just now;
Not "then," not "when."
Here, now, today, this;
There is no tomorrow's
hopeful bliss.
I hold in my hand
the most precious stone—
what fortune I own!
But I foolishly ignore
and hope for more.
I throw it away
in hopes that one day—
I patiently yearn—
for two to return.
(So) don't put off today
in hopes of tomorrow;
Don't sacrifice happiness
for certain sorrow.
