Poetry: Today

Only Today
So little time remains
Days fly by in soft refrains
Regimented stock works seem to guide
Giving me no place to hide

If I myself can not abound
Where have all the days gone by
Like smoke into the starry sky
Today's the only treasure chest
Let's do God's work and make it blessed

    Another time and place
    Assuming another chance
    I will try again

    by Carol Gioia

    Today is like a brand new slate,
    for me to write upon,
    I can re-invent myself,
