Just for Today

by Andrea Laws

the day's mysteries have been seen before
our chosen rights pushing through open doors

what shall we learn today?
a lesson we were told to pray?

a seemingly distant fog
procuring ancient frogs,
but never taking our protection from dogs

light becomes the waver of life
begging our stingy strife
freeing the will to change,
but keeping our destines strange

a message for you, I write
to enhance your rights
diminish your frights

continue the journey
until you're carried away on a gurney
