this day

this day.  this triumphant day.
is all mine and quite literally so.
all of it: this sun, this cloudless sky;
these children running through the park,
those lovers walking hand-in-hand;
this life and death, this earth. 

all of it. it all belongs to me.
just as these words and the paper
i write them down on.

this is my inheritence you see.
bequeathed to me by my father;
a greater man than most,
for he knew how to take a single day
and stretch it out over a lifetime.
and perhaps this secret too

i shall someday share
with the rest of the world. 
much like i share this day and these words.
