Just For Today

I have come to this place, just for today
Collecting random thoughts as I go my way.
I will gather my memories of where I have been
For I may never pass on this road again.

Offering well wishes to those that I see,
Wondering what my destination might be.
Huddled in the cold, sweltering in the hot,
Hoping my life is not occurring for naught.

Breathing new hope into the lives that I touch,
Hoping my visit will not tire them too much.
Casting forever, my fate to the wind,
Should I keep going, or begin again?

Not knowing what awaits me around each turn,
Wandering and lonely, for direction I yearn.
A place to go live, a hearth, a home
Ending forever, my desire to roam.

I take each day as it is given to me,
Making it better by the things that I see.
Asking for nothing, from you, in return,
Except gently present me with a lesson to learn.

Teach me to be happy and content,
Until I have, all my days spent.
Give me the strength to keep going on,
Let someone remember me when I’m gone.
