    One Day

    One day
    I’ll have all that I need
    And I won’t have to stress
    About making it to
    Tomorrow
    In one piece.

    One day
    I’ll be on the beach
    Sipping on margaritas
    And working on that tan
    Without it becoming a
    Red lobster burn.

    One day
    Is all I need
    To have my day
    In the sun,
    To finally be
    THAT person.

    One day
    There won’t be
    A Climate of Fear
    Choking me
    Every time I dare
    To speak against horror.

    One day
    We’ll all realize
    The preciousness of sharing
    This finite world
    And finally work for
    The sake of preserving
    Life great and small.

    One day
    Is perhaps the
    Single worst word pairing
    In the English language.
    It’s a panacea at best.
    A half hearted no at worst.

    One day
    Hangs loosely in
    The future
    As I finish this.
    I’ll say it less
    Someday. One day.

    • Mairi, I am speechless! You are so right that we think we will get to where we want to be “one day” but we should instead focus on being who and what we want in the present. Your words have inspired me and I will work to say “one day” less in the future as well. Thank you for sharing!
