Today!

Today is my day, you won't see me cry, Let life throw stones at me as it goes by, I shall not flinch or cry out in pain, Sadness must retreat, with nothing to gain Today is my day, I'll hold my head high, I'll reach my hands upward and touch the sky, Rearranging clouds, I'll summon the rain To saturate my heart, drowning the pain Today is my day, I won't think of death, I'll inhale life's brief joys with every breath, And I'll delay the setting of the sun Until the sweet hymn of the lark is done Today is my day, I will watch my pain Dissolving like a snowman in the rain, Sorrow and grief shall assail me no more, For just this one day, I can lock the door Today is my day, my voice will be heard, Each lonely lament, every unsung word, On swift wings they will fly away from me, All inhibitions, suddenly set free Today is my day, new paths I'll travel As life's binding threads start to unravel, I dare anyone to get in my way! Do you hear me world? Today is my day!
