The day before today was a dream
A distant memory
You were the performer and I was the audience.
It was a flash of light.
A blip of dialogue
Connections
Feelings
That I watched
While you stole the show.

On the present day,
I am a part of everyone’s life.
And I share that day with them.
I am in their hearts.
It’s different but the same.
In a way,
This day is melded into everyday.

The day after today is a door waiting to be opened.
An adventure.
You can choose how it turns out to be.
With your attitude,
Your mindset,
Your goals
And what you believe and hope for.

The author's comments:
"This was written for an English assignment. I ended up taking my writing in a different direction and made my teacher cry. The good crying, of course. It's written from God's perspective. It was tough to write, but in the end, I was content with the product."

&quot;Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, its about learning to dance in the rain.&quot;<br /> &quot;The reason people hold onto memories so tight is because they are the only things that don&#039;t change, even when everything else does.&quot;
