Poem Title:
Poem
Today is a gift, given in love, the gift of life that comes from above. a breath of fresh air or a walk in the park, hot sun on your skin or the moon after dark. to be able to see or to hear a fresh breeze, is still not enough for some people to please. look at the poor with no shoes on their feet, or those that are hungry with nothing to eat. bread and water alone would suit them just fine, they do not need a ribeye to fine dine. how about those paralyzed in a chair, forever dependant on others for care. or those that are homeless and labled a bumb, yet still find some change to give someone with none. then the rich that are greedy will do anything, to get what they want without ever giving. still sooner or later the greed takes its toll, and lucky are those who do not sell their soul. then some, working two jobs, complain about what they dont have, but have plenty of food, a warm bed and a bath. we all need to learn how to give what we can, our money, our time or a warm helping hand. a simple smile at someone could brighten their day, just like it will ours when a smile comes our way. we all have our ups, our downs and our fears, our worries, our struggles and occasional tears. life is not easy, we learn as we go, but the mistakes that we make is what helps us to grow. one day at a time is what its about, and life is too short to not make each second count. so with this in mind, lets all kneel down and pray, and give thanks to God for only this day. yesterdays gone and tomorrow is near, so we must do all we can while today is still here. staying true to ourselves and to others, staying pleasant, today is a gift thats why they call it the present.
