Have we ever really looked inside the wrapping? Perhaps we've never accepted the gift that we're? Could it be that there is something else inside than what we think? Could God's gift be anything but good? Maybe it needs polishing to bring out its value, it's natural luster! Maybe it's unique hasn't found its essential worth? Well... I've to agree with you about the last stanza;

"We must live for today somehow
The only thing that matters is now
When we learn from past mistakes
What a difference a day makes."

Anyway, nice poem though, writing well yet good message to the reader....Best wishes and take care!

I enjoy reading your poems. Thank you for sharing.

Wow it was so truthful and reality about life...But in life things like that always happen
My fave lines are;

We must live for today somehow
The only thing that matters is now
When we learn from past mistakes
What a difference a day makes
