Today is a Beautiful Day!

 

Today was a beautiful day!

Who could ask for more?

My heart still beating within me,

Just the same as before.

 

Two hands to hug my healthy kids,

Two feet that hit the floor.

Each second that I complain,

As if life is a chore,

 

I stop and think of those with less;

Unsure if they will eat,

No longer have freedom to walk,

Just mocked by their two feet.

 

Some live in countries, they can’t pray,

Told what to do and say.

Some beaten by the ones they love,

And children run away.

 

Today is a beautiful day!

A day I’ll make a change!

I’ll take some clothes the kids won’t wear,

And give them all away.

 

Before dinner tonight we will,

Serve the homeless a meal.

I’ll share my story to each of them,

In hopes that they may heal.

 

I’ll speak to the woman beaten,

And tell her of my day,

Hope that she’ll believe in herself,

And build a brand new way.

 

My life is not my own in ways,

With this I am at peace,

This world is just a big puzzle,

I am but a piece.

 

Today is a Beautiful Day!

Indeed it was a good day, and many more are to come, I love this and can relate on so many levels, from being homeless with an alcoholic mother to later in life have the blessing to be able to feed and help clothe the less fortunate. Our life is not only ours we are only a piece, I love this poem! Wonderfully written! You have a humble heart, God bless you!

inspirational. we should value what we have and not what we haven't, it represents all the gifts in our lives that we have been given. until we see the grass as green under our feet how can we ever appreciate our lives properly. fantastic.
