Living for Today

Living For Today  by Rick Cercone

Summer is here
today, now for a limited
time only.
The birds music flow
through my open window.
They are singing to me,
telling me what lies in wake
for the day to come.
They don't know what tomorrow holds.
But that's ok. They don't care and
I don't care.
I smell the grass I will
lay in already, miles away.
Thankful.
I've given nature the thank you
she deserves. For the rising sun
and the singing birds.
For the comfort she provides,
a blanket of safety. A bed made of sunshine
and loving memories.
