"The Last Toast" By Nicanor Parra

"The Last Toast" by Nicanor Parra is a poem that really reflects the truth of our lives. Most of people are pursuing the happiness and maybe a better life, that's why they are concentrated in the future, therefore, losing the time in the present. Author said in the beginning that we have three choices: "Yesterday, today and tomorrow." It is obvious that the past is gone forever so all what is in our hand to change is the present and the future. I liked the sentence "I raise my glass To the day that never arrives." where maybe tomorrow will never come. In my opinion, the message of this poem is cherish good memories of the past and forget the bad ones because they are dead and live the life today because the future may not ever come.
