Wow, you all have incredible poetry. I find any kind of art incredibly interesting because it can say so much about its creator and how they were feeling.

Here is a poem I wrote and had published in the local paper back in 2003. Its about trying to live for today.

One Day at a Time

I wish it was the past again
Which crayon should I take?
Which game to play or show to watch?
Which drawing should I make?
Too young to have regrets
Too innocent to know
Imagining the boy I'd marry
While building men of snow!
I wish it was the future!
For wiser I shall be
No more papers or exams
Or college over me
I'll have a house and good career
With two kids and a cat
For goodness' sake the DSL!
I'd be happy just with that!
But how interesting is a goal that's reached?
Or a party once its past?
Half the fun is getting there
So why not make it last?
Right "now" once was tomorrow
It will soon be yesterday
I really should enjoy the "now"
Before it slips away
