Just for Today

By Mollie Moir

Just for today I will hold my head high,

and forget my problems.

I can smile and make everyone else's day better,

even if behind that smile I cry.

Just for today I will walk away from a fight,

though I may feel hurt inside.

I will ignore what is said,

and continue on peacefully.

Just for today I will set an example,

when I feel the need to hurt.

I will laugh and walk away,

people will admire me more.

Just for today I will say only positive things,

I will treat others the way I should want to be treated

instead of the way they treat me.

I will be confident that life is like a mirror,

if you smile, it smiles back,

and what goes around comes around,

so one day that smile will return to me.

Just for toady I will stand tall,

I will not look at the ground,

but instead share happiness with others.

I will not compromise my morals,

instead I will offer opinions,

and accept reactions without question.

Just for today I will accept life's ups and downs,

and know that they only make me stronger in the end.

I will understand that doing what is right and knowing what is right are separate issues,

but with strength I can bring them together to make the world a better place.

Just for today I can.
