" Today Speak I listen "

today will give me something

or take it away 

without a spoken word to say 

cause me to crack a smile 

or turn it upside down 

shower me with love 

take me on a merry -go -round 

flat out lie to me 

cry to me for sympathy 

crown me as Queen 

steal from me my dreams 

fail me so I can try 

over and over again 

teach me how to respect myself 

create a way for me to sin 

let me see my mistakes 

bring me wealth or ultimate health 

surprise me with a tragedy 

find a way to get rid of me 

I pray and live on the wings

of a prayer 

I may guess what today may bring 

but today already knows what's there
