Today is the Day

By Amber Volk

Today is the day I won't worry for one moment about what everyone else thinks.

I will do something because it's fun,

Not because it's due tomorrow, or someone else forces me to do it.

Today is the day

I will walk outside and enjoy the beauty the world has to offer.

I will take time to be thankful for the trees and flowers;

Enjoy the weather, even if it's negative 20 outside.

I will be happy to be alive,

Today is the day.

I will talk to people I don't care to talk to.

I will make friends with an enemy.

I will do good for mankind,

Today is the day.

If we keep putting off till tomorrow, what we can do today,

It may never get done.

If we don't do something for the fun of it, it's not worth spending time doing.

Enjoy beauty, life, love and friendship.

Enjoy everything today,

For tomorrow, that may be too late.
