The poem "Have You Earned Your Tomorrow" is written by Edgar Guest. The very title of the poem makes us think if we have done anything useful or good today.
The poet asks us many questions throughout the poem. Each question makes us think if we were kind, unselfish, patient, and thoughtful today. In today's world, many people often live only for their own benefit. This poem makes us think beyond ourselves.
The language of the poem is simple and easy to understand. It uses poetic devices like alliteration (repeating the same sound at the beginning of words) and rhyme. The poem has four stanzas, and each stanza has four lines.
The main and clear message of the poem is that a person's life is truly meaningful only if it is useful for all of humanity. The poem teaches us that we need to feel that our existence is justified. If we haven't done good, we cannot feel we have the right to ask for another day of life.
In my opinion, this is an uplifting poem. We can take its important message and start using it in our daily lives right away, every single day.
