This poem by Wislawa Szymborska is listed as a graduation poem. I guess that's accurate - it's about starting anew and how nothing is repeated so take nothing for granted and appreciate all. It could be for graduation or for any life altering event. Say having a child or quitting smoking.
While the poem seems quick didactic (I wish "I" was in it more), I really like how it is written. The comparisons she makes. Not too much pure imagery, but engaging nonetheless.
Favorite line: "Today is always gone tomorrow."
