the precious

he told me before he died,
no days matter but today,
so take it in full stride
and let nothing in your way.

i delve not into prayers
or knowing all the answers,
it's for today i care,
he said before the cancer.

for what else do we possess,
if not the joys of today?
let not the future stress,
and cause fear and dismay.

wake up with a smile, he said,
you've been given the greatest gift,
so go on and plow ahead,
and allow the day to drift.

Hi. You know who I am. I have for so long been in awe of how you think - how you write what so many of us feel. You have a gift and these last few entries are just more proof of that fact. Thanks for not stopping.
