Today's the Day

Today is the day I have 
decisions to make,I 
know along with it,there
will be chances to take.

Today is the day I need
to work towards a goal,I
know it won't be easy and
I'll have to reach deep down in my soul.

Today is the day I start to
turn my life around,I can't
let people get to me and
I need to stand my ground.

Today is the day I need
to finally feel free,do
whatever it is I want to do
and be who I want to be.

Today is the day for me to
show people what I can do,
I will do it in my real way
which is loyal,honest,and true.

Today is the day I show myself
I am not scared to take a chance
and I can do anything without
taking a second glance.

        Colleen Marie Bono

Good topic for a poem for each day is the first day of the rest of our lives. We can't change the past but only go forward. Keep the creative pen flowing. Sara

Beautiful Poem Colleen. A promise made to oneself, such as this is, something we all must do in order to break free of the mind's little box. This box of the mind, is as a fox nipping at our true vine of purpose. Everyone has a true purpose that should be honored by all..Smile, Thanks also for your most gracious comment. Sincerely, Love, Moses
