TODAY

peace, envelopes my soul

the heavens unfolding before me

a new day burst awake

sun brillant, clouds lightly dusting the sky



today is here unlike any other before

truly this is the first day of the rest of my life

the birds singing

children rising full of anticipation of the day ahead



paperboy rides by on his bicycle

mailman's familiar smile...black bag full of letters and bills

dogs barking

people hurrying, scurrying to get to work



flowers stretching to greet the morning sun

dew blanketing the grass, giving it lifes blood

I know today is a gift

and I shall cherish it as such

Author's Notes/Comments: 

today and everyday is a gift for one never knows when they will breathe their last!
