Just For Today
**************
Just for Today, I'll forgive yesterday,
even though it bled every color...even gray.
Just for Today, I'll forgive tomorrow,
even though so far, all it offered me was sorrow.
Just for Today, I'll forgive the earth,
even though it doesn't care about life or death or my rebirth.
Just for Today, I'll forgive my god,
even though I was created to be this thoroughly flawed.
Just for Today, I'll forgive this bruising pain,
even though it wanted me to think myself insane.
Just for Today, I'll forgive this skin I'm in,
even though it plainly hates me for scarring it with sin.
Just for Today, I'll forgive my lack of guilt,
even though it was my way out of this maze that I built.
Just for Today, I'll forgive all the wasted hope,
even though it held me tangled, tied up in it's lovely rope.
Just for Today, I'll forgive the desperate crave,
even though it wants to ease me gently into an early grave.
Just for Today, I'll forgive the need that wants desired,
even though need wants desire to hide that need and want are liars.
Just for Today, I'll forgive the puppet-master,
even though that bastard laughed as my past sped fast into disaster.
Just for Today, I'll forgive this damned disease,
even though it wants my life spent weeping...on my knees.
Just for Today, I'll forgive what I've done to me,
even though it's not forever, Just for Today, I'll set me free.

Some gut-wrenching imagery, but this poem and all it depicts is hopeful; determined. The fact this poem was written so long ago tells me you have suffered long enough.
Just for today. You got it brother, stay close to your support system.

One day at a time, you remind me to take one battle at a time, one wall at a time, climb one hill at a time. How releasing to permit ourselves to put down our struggles and stop by the side of the road to rest. Your simple message is very powerful. Let it lead you to peaceful moments, as you have for me.
