Never Let Today Get Away

It wouldn’t be hard to add up the pain,
All the times I gave my all in vain,
It would not be a challenge to flaunt my scars,
to go over all the mistakes I’ve made so far,
All the people I’ve lost throughout the years,
down to every fear and all the tears,
to every “goodbye” and every broken heart;
all the times I had to make a new start
There are no words to describe what I have felt,
with every disappointment that was ever dealt,
I could look back with sadness and sorrow
and I could believe there’s no hope for tomorrow,
I could easily feel sorry for myself everyday
as I live in the past and see the future as gray,
but I've made a promise to keep my head high,
I have promised to never let my soul die,
Although the painful past still haunts me today,
It’s taught me to never let today get away,
without a touch, a hug, or a kiss or two,
without those three words, “I love you,”
Everyday I look back with a long deep sigh,
But I never ask God the question of “why?”
All I know is that I’m still here to live and strive,
and that is why I thank God I’m alive.
