some days hold more meaning
as a collection of events come
call it alignment of the stars
or simply a good day to happen
this date is one of those to me
holding several keys of my past
that are important to only myself
providing my private little smile
so if you see a twitch of my lip
a small curling up at the corners
and you wonder at my thoughts
keep wondering, I'll not share
today I walk with my memories
some happy others not so much
but each a part of my life now
all precious for me on this day
I leave you now with this thought
nothing should be more important
than living the life you are given
as completely as each day permits
make each day a fond memory
worthy of personal small smiles
remembering to be true always
to the person you are inside... and smile!
I made a pledge to myself to write a poem a day for the entire year. Now to follow through. I preface this with a reminder; most of the poems written for this year long project will be done so spontaneously and therefore will not be edited. Bear with me on this. The project goal is to get them written over getting them perfect. Several times there will simply be the poem with no title. When that happens suggestions for a title will be welcomed in the comments.
I think on these words...
ReplyDelete....(live) the life you are given
as completely as each day permits

worthy of personal small smiles

...It's interesting how these words make me remember how I have not done these things and how it provides me with the opportunity for self-pity. Mayhap I've done enough weeping and time-a-wastin'. I'd rather post this prominently and ignore the pit in my stomach as I lift my chin and look around at the opportunities I will not miss today.
