Today Is Your Day

Hope is elusive, sometimes sliding by in a river of grass,
faintly smiling, during the daytime.

Bushel baskets of inspiration gathered in minutes, waiting
for a tiny signal you are ready, all you have to do is wink.

Determined dream lighters collect what we need to ignite
the fire of opportunity, and sizzle our imagination as we slumber.

Infusing the exact formula of skills necessary to tantalize
us to take the chance of a lifetime, to write that novel, to
show the masses what we are about when we are ready.

We leap out of bed with eager anticipation in the mornings,
ready for the optimism and wisdom which has inspired us to
do our best today.  Not fully understanding why or how, but
positive we can do it now.

The rejuvenation and renewal process which has been working
on our soul-level during the night can be attributed to angels of the highest
order, messengers from  God, in case you wondered.  

Now get out there and do your best today, amaze yourself, be the
you whom you have always dreamed possible. Today is your day!
