Not Today

Today is not the day to get out of bed.
It's not the day to go to work.
To do a statistics project.
To study for an exam.
To memorize Russian Geography.

Today is the day to hug my roommate.
To smile at strangers.
To sit with someone who needs you there.
To hang out with Grandma.
To drink tea and watch the grey sky.

Why is it so hard to put these things together?
Why can't our days be endless?
Why must time constrain us so?

So much to do, so little time.
So many questions, so few answers.
And life goes on, but how?

Through love.
Joy.
Peace.
Patience.
Kindness.
Goodness.
Gentleness.
Faithfulness.
Self-Control.
