Another Day

Deeply, the first conscious breath of awakening

A chance to love the sweetness of a new day.

How can it be that I am free to do whatever my mind allows me to do

Restricted only by my own desires or lack of humility

A chance to smile at someone new?

A chance to indulge in something for me?

A chance to knock on an old person's door or

A chance to simply be…..

A gift, some may say, or taken for granted on another day

Twenty four hours, a time to be thankful, many do not have another day:

Be it illness, catastrophe, bereft mind or sick soul, 

So, I must be the best I can be today!
