'just For Today'
What if just for today
You smile - not because things are perfect
But because unlike others you still inhale and exhale
What if just for today
You are greatful - not because everything is going well
But because inspite of the obstacles you still doing you
There is no blueprint to life
Yet - here you still are
Doing what's needed
Crying at times
Fighting the unknown
Battling through days that seems like it's been the darkest you've seen
Only to acknowledge that the darkest days does not outweigh the brightest ones
Cradling memories that came from those darker days
What if you feel you can't go on
You make a conscious decision to cling to the memories
They might be the ones that change your mind
The ones that will give you courage to fight another day
