What if today was the day

The day that defined your life

Your life and all that you have done

Have done along the way?

~~~

What if the moment was now

Was now, and you didn’t know

Didn’t know or even have a clue

A clue or a hint as to how?

~~~

Does the thought of that draw a smile

A smile or a gasp or a frown

A frown of regret or even a tear

A tear, wishing you had awhile?

~~~

Would you long for another day

Another day to prove yourself

Prove yourself and what you would do

Would do, or maybe say?

~~~

I will not waste this day

This day right here, right now

Right now, though I might want to sit

Today might be the day.
