Make this one count

This morning I woke up, and the first lines of a poem were going around in my head, so before i gt out of bed, i wrote them down, then out came the whole poem. 

It is about making today count, and living those dreams that have lying dormant for too long. Today is the day to dust them off. Don't let today just pass by like all the rest.



Make This One Count

So, what about today, what will it bring?
As the moon slowly sinks beneath the earths rim,
A new day that's full of hope and surprises,
The sun brings a newly clean slate as it rises.
Will today be the day that you'll never forget
With your dreams dusted off, there's no time for regret.
So many have passed in forgotten monotony,
And they've taken with them not a piece, but a lot of me. 
So now is the time to make this day count
Because of the days left, there's a finite amount,
So stand up, be counted, leave your mark in history,
Don't let your dreams be a sad death bed mystery.
Life deserves beauty, love, risk and grace,
If not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.
So where you're now standing, leave a mark on the ground,
Something that when you're gone will be found.
Then they will know, that you walked you're own stride,
And you weren't just another one along for the ride.
So make your mark, start building your dreams today,
Then they'll live here forever, when you've faded away.

I hope it provokes some thought.
