Today Poem by Sarah Wyld

Today’s the kind of day when words don’t come easily.
When the perfect phrase
The perfect combination
Of what you need to express
Slips out of your grasp.
Today was the day I was meant to tell you.

Today’s the kind of day when a smile is impossible.
When the kind gestures
The kind thoughts
That make you happy
Don’t manifest here.
Today was the day you needed me.

Today’s the kind of day when a superhero rests.
When the flying angel
Your god above
Making sure you’re safe
Is not watching.
Today was the day I was meant to save you.
