Today is a day
One day closer to being who I am supposed to be
One day closer to having that job and that life
One day closer to being what I am told I am to be

Don’t get me wrong, these things are great
These things are called a future and I will get there
These things known as a job, a family, my own children
These things that we wait to grow up to experience

Why do we wait?
Wait for what?
To be on my own, to make my own money, to pay the debt of school
Today is a day so why should I wait?
I am going to dream of tomorrow and touch the sky today

Even now I can work hard to finish school, so why is work such a big deal?
Even now I have a family who loves me, so why don’t I just enjoy that now?
Even now I am a future mother (I hope to be at least), so why don’t I pray for my children now?

Today is a day, just like tomorrow
The future is just a day followed by a day, why don’t I live life to the fullest now
So tonight when I rest my head, preparing for the next day
I remind myself that although tomorrow is the future full of dreams, today was a day too
And for that day I learn to pray and say thank you
Why you may ask? Well I say today was a day just like yesterday
