The Happiness of Today

Photo by Pierre Michel

To my sisters, to my brothers, I would like to say

Be humbler everyday, while new days come every time
Or be gentle with the men, with the women, every kind
Not to say that being good doesn’t bring a reward
To the ones that achieve, a golden treasure is relief

Be really a better person, and thus the wickedness’ thief
The hug on a grief, and the smiles’ own teeth
Happiness is an option, but so is to live — and
Of course there are questions, hence we are here
Today you can ask, tomorrow you may leave

Today you can act. Tomorrow we’ll see.
