Here's To Today

Here's to today...
          a day lived on too little sleep and even less motivation to put x's in the blanks next to my
          to-do list

Here's to today...
          a day with expectations looming overhead like dark rain clouds yet only the desire to
          read, write,  hear, and speak poetry

Here's to today...
          one lived in the knowledge of grace; not from the ever-widening and rising volume of
          theology, but rather from having fallen face first and trying to get up again

Here's to today...
          the good, the bad; the monotony, the excitement; and everything in between

Here's to today...
          because it is today and
          it is all we'll ever have
