Today

by Ryan Blunt

I wrote something new today.

I thought about you in blue today,

Telling me, do good in school today.

But I can’t. It’s not my day today.

Tears falling down my cheeks today.

Thinking about how you’re feeling today.

I’m trying to be positive today,

Because you taught me to live for today.

Tomorrows another day. But I don’t feel that way.

At least I don’t today.

Mom, take my hand and come with me today.

Take you away from all the pain you’re

Experiencing today.

Why is this happening today?

Don’t leave me today, 

Don’t leave me any day. 

I needed you yesterday.

I need you today.
