Today - Again

If you 
were gifted this 
day again, what more 
would you do with it? How 
many words would be not spoken,
or deeds left wholly undone - if for once 
afforded the opportunity, how different could it 
be for those with whom you connect, to replay the game 
of yesterday and plan the minute menu of today. Would it bear 
any resemblance to past days still remembered? Alas, this 
gift cannot be given as the day is gone and done. Give 
thanks, then, for the rare gift of tomorrow. Where 
would you begin again, even if you had no 
recall of the events that shaped it?
If all you knew was what you 
could see in the lives of 
those who are dear
to you; would
it be just
another
day?
