Seriously …. I almost did. If not for a reminder from Michael I would have forgotten about it all together. Such is the nature of life.
And that, I suppose, is exactly my point. Today is important. There is only one today. Don’t just forget about it. Make the most of it.
I invite you all, therefore, to provide your thoughts on this special day. Don’t try too hard – don’t waste too much of the day doing spell checks. Life is too short, sometimes, for correct grammar.
Here are a few thoughts of my own.
Tomorrow will be
In its way
Just the same as
Yesterday
What will be
Already been
All you see
Already seen
Embrace the truth
Don’t look away
Grab this moment
Come what may
Let the instant
Reign supreme
Today December
Seventeen.
AND …..
Far horizon
Distant dawn
Watch today
As now is born
I see no reason
Hear no rhyme
That brought about
This place in time
Just hold it close
Don’t let it go
There is no other truth
To know
It’s happening
It’s now. It’s here
It’s just begun
It’s end is near

Still 9h until we get there too… I’ll have a little something to celebrate Dec 17th and make sure to link it to your post 😉
I hope you’re doing well 🙂
