Here

I am here.

That is all that I know.

I make plans for where 

I will be 

But all I really know

is where I am.

I plan,

and plan

and plan 

and plan;

and yet

How do I know that my plans 

Will be?

I act as if I know the future

all of the joys 

all of the pains.

And yet,

Such knowledge 

I have never held.

If I really knew what would happen tomorrow,
Perhaps my tears would flow without ceasing
Or perhaps my heart would fill with love never before felt;
But I cannot know whether joy or pain awaits.

As I stand here,
Here where I am,
I must be content.
For all I have is today
Nothing more and nothing less.

I am here.
