From my unknowing slumber,I was awake to find a new day.
And for a split second it takes to accumulate my wits,
I subconsciously pause to ponder,to reflect
On Yesterday,Today,Tomorrow...n myself
Shall i focus on...
The sorrow that found me and ruined my yesterday
Or the fact that I got through it,challenged yet okay
Shall i focus on...
The aches that more and more often come my way
Or the wisdom of years that grows stronger everyday
Shall i focus on...
The lost manners,the lack of courtesy people display
Or the smiles derived from the Thank-you's that i say
Shall i focus on...
The stress,difficulties that seem to come my way
Or the amazing power I possess to make an impact today
A second later a familiar realization lights the way
Yesterday is no longer mine to contemplate
And Tomorrow never was
All i really have is Today and myself
I stretch,smile,and decided to open my eyes
I will not waste another second of this gift...My new day!
