Just for Today

By Michele Johnson, Army

Writing Type: Poem

By Michele Roxanne Johnson

VA Medical Center—Albany, NY

Just for today I am free.

I am the whispering wind and the twinkling star.

Just for today I am the rising moon

and the setting sun.

Just for today I am a butterfly freeing myself

from the restraints of the cocoon.

Just for today I am the baby bird breaking free

from the egg.

Just for today I am the rushing river flowing

ever so freely.

Just for today I am the ocean, vast and always moving.

Just for today I am free to be me in any way

my heart, mind and soul want to be.

Just for today I am free to just be!
