I live my today.....

I live my today,

Not tomorrow or the day after,

I live to dream,

Not a life in dreams,

I live my today,

Not yesterday or the day before,

I live to create memories,

Not a life in retrospect,

I would sometime late in life: look back and smile;

A smile: toothless as it were, 

It would still remind me of those countless moments of fun 

And tireless days of joy.

I would sometime late in life: look back and weep;

Tears of joy: boundless and pure,

They would still remind me of those countless people, 

Those who mattered and who still do. 

Memories of Kohl lined eyes and eyes twinkling with joy,

Memories of freckled smiles and wrinkled laughs;

Memories of love,life and the journey till then;

Its just the beginning of a story,

A story with twists and turns not known when;

A story as it were to happen.

Each day at a time,

For you know and so do I,

I live my today : Don't ask me why!
