Today

The only one I have

Chatham Manor, Falmouth — photo by me

If today is the day
The only day
The only day I have
To be who I am

Who I am today
No do-overs for this day
This will be the only one like it
The only 20th day of February,
In the 20th year of the 21st century.

Will I be here
Be here now?
I’m a gonna be as best I can
Don’t wanna waste this one,
Wanna make it count

Count for what?
Count for today
I don’t wanna count this day
I wanna make this day count.

It’s all I got,
Gotta go get it,
Make it mine.

Better yet,
Just let it be
Be mine
Oh woncha be?

Be mine, this day,
You’re the only one I got.
Glad to be here
To be alive
To live this day
All day, today.

Yay!
