today

I awoke at 8
I tossed at 8.15
I fussed at 8.30
I agonized at 8.45
I cursed at 9
And so the day began ...

A windy day
A sleepy day
A restless day
A disgruntled day

What good will come out of today?
Babbling of some sort?
About the past and the future?
About the present to anyone who would hear?

Of a celebration, Love is inviting
Of a River, warmth is refreshing
Of a good Book, peace is silencing
Of a discipline, freedom is compelling
Of a life, uncertainty is assuring
Of a Crown, grace is carrying

Just sharing, of all sorts
About the past and the future
About the present to only one who would hear
Oh, what good has come out of today

A sunny day
A wakening day
A contented day
A blessed day
And so the day begins ...
