I was challenged to write a piece using the line 'What if Today was the Day?'. This piece is the result.

What if today was the day
That the lottery winning was yours?
Would you still see life the same?
Would you open doors you’d closed?

What if today was the day
That you became king of the world?
Would you remember your enemies first?
Would you let your vengeance unfurl?

What if today was the day
That was your last day of life?
Would you worry how folks would remember you?
Would you weep and cry in fright?

Just know that each day is the day
That your choices affect tomorrow,
And choose to give when you can
To be kind to those that borrow.

And maybe a life will be changed
Because you stopped to remember that
Today’s kindness is a stored blessing
That you’ll reap abundantly back.
