Okay For TodayA Poem by Alene Parr“How is your heart today?” She said and smiled Because I answered, “It’s okay.” Because it was Okay Today. Some days it isn’t. But for now it feels All right. It isn’t sinking Isn’t drowning In whatever fills my chest In the morning After dreams. It isn’t coated in the heavy lead I wake up with sometimes. “How is my heart?” I think. I feel it beat. It’s in there, And that’s good enough For me Today. Because it’s fine. It’s just okay For today. © 2015 Alene ParrReviews
