Poetry

Today

Is the day

To get up and see what you can do.

For tomorrow may not come.

Or the opportunity to get it done may not be as great as today.

So take a deep breath and just jump

For the fall will be worth it this time.

Because when you get up you may feel doubt and pain.

But, the ability to overcome this stumble will feel as good or better than winning the lottery.

For you will be able to stand up and say you did it.

And if tomorrow comes you won’t have to picture the what if’s or what could have been.

For you will know and have something to show for in the end.
