Life Lesson Poems: It's Fine Today

Life lesson poems can teach us some very valuable insights on living life in the moment. The question is... are you living for today? Or are you living your life based on what happened yesterday or might happen tomorrow?

It's Fine Today is an engaging poem about life with a gentle reminder of how often we lose sight of the happy moments that happen today by brooding over the sorrows of yesterday or fearing the troubles that "might" appear tomorrow.

Remember, there is always some happiness in each of our days; seize it; be grateful for it.

Seriously, you can't change anything that happened in the past, no matter how much you brood about it.

How you live your life in each and every moment, starting from this moment is what shapes your future. Live life in the present tense; do not miss the joys of today.

Life Lesson Poems: It's Fine Today
by Douglas Malloch

~Douglas Malloch (1877-1938)

Born in Muskegon, Michigan, Malloch grew up amidst logging camps, sawmills and lumber yards. He became enamored with writing poems and stories about lumbering scenes and eventually became known as the "Lumbermen's Poet".

He wrote his first poem at the age of ten which was published in the Detroit News. After leaving school Malloch took a job on the editorial staff at the Muskegon Chronicle where he remained for 13 years, becoming a reporter and feature writer for the paper.

After leaving the Chronicle, he joined the staff of American Lumberman in 1903 as a syndicated columnist. Malloch soon developed into a popular and nationally renowned humorist, lecturer and radio personality. His column was often written in the form of a poem and eventually these poems were collaborated into a series of books with “In Forest Land” being his first published work and a national best seller.
