Today

Today

Today …. Is it just another day
Today …. Is it the same as yesterday
Today …. Is it to be thrown away
Today …. Is it lost in everyway

How do we know that there will be another today,
In what way do we feel the gift of another day,
What are the circumstances that we realize appreciation,
We are bound in the dream that it never ends,

In God's hands we must trust,
In his hands we surrender all we fear,
Wiith his grace we should be able to let go,
Acknowledgement of his power is the ultimate freedom,

He who created all surely will not test us for fun,
Strength comes from struggle and pain,
Why should it all be fair … a war is never fair,
Its the fighting with the deepest pain, emotion and tears,

If we cast out worry away then we release ourselves,
Imprisoned by the ideals and promises of the world,
Human nature is to escape and run away,
Real faith is to stand and fight … no matter what,

The battles will always be bigger,
The emotions will always be stronger,
The fear will always be louder,
The exhaustion will always become bolder,

In our creator we trust,
In our creator we love,
In our creator we must surrender,
In our creator there will always be answers from above and from with inside,

Trusting someone you cant see … faith,
Loving a being you cant touch … faith,
Believing that there is always a reason … faith,
Living with belief in the invisible … faith,

Today is it …
Tomorrow could be missed …
Yesterday merely fills a list …
Purpose for this gift of life must not be lost
