The gift of today

Today, I read an inspiring quote from a bookmarked blog. The site owner apparently did not know who the author was, so I did some Googling and found out it was from an American writer named Mary Jean Irion:

"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 might not always be so.
One day, I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow,
Or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky,
And want, more than all the world, your return."
