Just For Today
I choose not to lay down and wait any longer
For things to change or come my way by chance
I long to much for something different in life
I admit, I'm not always right, nor often even sure
Of all the things that could be or will be to come
Still I realize, life isn't safe for even the surest of men
And confidence is an asset acquired though living
From learning and trying, and taking chances
Just for today, I realize time is short, a whisper !
Of thoughts for only a moment in mind and time
Just for today, I have a personal decision to make
And this decision could easily affect all my tomorrows
Yet, it is a chance I must take for all the right reasons
Of which I can foresee at this special moment
Then time will be the judge of all my good intentions
Because this day, I realize, I can live or die
Knowing I made a stand though choice of decisions
To not wait for a fantasy to come, but to help it be
Or let it go, if fate finds my best efforts not good enough
For this day, I understand the relationship of confidence
Though faith in a higher power, the source of all wisdom
