If tomorrow comes and brings a different light--
far from what you wanted, planned or dreamed of:
live your best today, intentionally, purposefully
and tomorrow, bring all that's good from today

If tomorrow never comes, as all is temporary:
live your best today, hold on to everything you love
embrace them all tightly, leave no space for doubt
you'll be leaving a beautiful, inspiring mark

If tomorrow does come & answers all your prayers:
still, live your best today, so you could prepare
to be that person who knows, appreciates, & cares
for that precious blessing that has been given

Live your best today
through all the ifs of tomorrow

Live your best today
because tomorrow is never promised

Live your best today
because this is all that's certain.

Uncharted waters

It's uncharted waters;
I've never reached this far before.
But I know in my heart,
I want to keep going.
Maybe I have grown to be brave
or simply got tired of playing safe,
but I finally found one of such great value
that treading the uncertain path ahead
is worth risking than letting it slip away.

Confession

Honesty is good
honesty is sweet

until the honest heart
pours out the dark
and lonely parts

how it is tired
how it feels stuck
how it wishes it could just stop
and just drop everything
it's been carrying all this time

how it longs
for peace and quiet
without having to care
about everything around her
about everyone she loves

just this time
can it be just her
for her

This is inspired by a special person's burst of emotions--she that cares for everything and everyone; she who gets tired too; she who needs care, too.
