Today
Today is not yet another day
Or hour or second
But a stitch in my life
For which I will grow
For which I will learn
For the day I know
Of my destiny
My fate
A blanket of defeat
For my life rattled thin
Pulling strands of deceit
Today is not my first
Or my second or my third
It is a pattern of rewards
For I’ve not yet learned
Of my purpose
My plan
This life upon dreams
I am a blanket
Of love, of pain
Of strain, of truth
Of lies, of passion
It seems to unravel by the second
By the hour
By today…
For it is not the time
For each stitch to display my purpose my plan
For today
Is not like another day
It is the time of my life
To seek and to find
For the threads to unwind
And my thoughts to entwine
For the Lords great design
To soar through my mind
My futures undefined
And then I remind
Myself of his sign
This blanket of today
Every stitch now enshrined
These indescribable lines
Today is my chance
My needle, my thought
For yesterday
And tomorrow
Were once and will be
Today
But this day…
It is my blanket
My honor
My story
My more
