Today Is a Gift

Today is a gift I dare not squander My thoughts and feelings I do not launder. That I am still here at all is a wonder. So many others have travelled yonder. I feel like a poser vagabonder Still, today’s a gift I dare not squander.

very clear write...i admire a buddhist tradition still carried on, wandering monks live by an empty bowl in hand

I know they do, and I admire them, but do not wish to join them yet. I am still eating my cookies every day, and lots of them.

Beautiful monorhyme, Caren. Awesome message. Another FAVE - we're on a roll this morning.
