Today - ON WRITING AND RUNNING

Today, this moment, is all I have left
To share my thoughts with you
I want you to know how important you are
How much your presence had made me
A much better person than I am
Or I deserve to be
How much more aware of you, of others
Of life itself
I am
Because of someone like you
Sometimes, the best thing about being a human being
Is the people you meet and the friendships that endure
The friendships you treasure
From this world to the next
I am truly the sum of all parts
Of the people I've known
Those friendships that I've cherished
The hearts that have touched me
And perhaps, I have shared that
With you
