Today

To this day,
I still haven't given up.
I still ask the same questions.
Of where, why and how.

To this day,
I still have a little spark of hope.
That no matter what,
Such tragedies will soon end.

To this day,
I still try to fight a good fight.
That even in this trying times,
I haven't lost my faith on humanity.

To this day,
I wear my heart on my sleeves.
That while I tackle this monster,
I go about my usual business.

To this day,
I wake up and still be thankful.
For my work, family and friends.
For the triumphs - big and small.

To this day,
Even if I am getting impatient,
I still play by the rules.
Placing my bets on what is fair and right.

To this day,
While I am almost fed up,
Blessings are just pouring out.
Overwhelmed but not bruised.

To this day,
I know who and what I am.
And simply being my usual self,
I am driving some bored ones nuts.

To this day,
While I am not singing "Walking on Sunshine",
I am walking under the sun.
And singing "No day but today".
