Today...I Will... Poem by Dee Daffodil

Today...I Will...

Rating: 4.9


Today...I'll look outside myself
If only for awhile
I'll overlook my pain
To make another smile

Today...I'll look outside myself
To see another's grief
And I'll sit quitely and listen
Perhaps bringing some relief

Today...I'll look outside myself
And see from a child's eyes
The beauty and the joy
That all around me lies

Today...I'll look outside myself
I'll twist the hands of fate
Practice random acts of kindness...
I hope I'm not too late!

This is a really good poem! It'd probably be worth smoothing out the flow a bit and submitting it for publication somewhere. -chuck

Good advice and we all should do it more because we really are rather selfish.
