I am Today.
I greeted you with the crimson of the dawn.
I met you with the challenge of hours yet-to-come.
I am a friend as old as the years you know.
I am Today.
Within one small sprinkling of time I shall become yesterday.
I shall have lived, and looked and lingered yet a while with you.
And then I shall be gone forever.
Look at me well, for I am your time of promise.
Do not use me lightly, for I affect your tomorrows.
Remember me for what I am - Opportunity for whatever you choose.
I am Today.
I have lived as long as man.
A thousand times a thousand time since God made night and day.
I have seen the earth green with the grace of peace
and also black with the curse of war.
I have held the fragile promises of men until tomorrow,
And then watched them shattered with disrespect.
I am Today.
I am no babe in the woods.
No wide-eyed child of time.I am your hope,
for I give you the chance to remake your yesterdays.
