This is the Day

At the end of the Academy of the Holy Cross spring production of TWELFTH NIGHT, I wrote this poem to record what I was feeling and why. Now it inspires me to keep getting up on that stage even when I am scared of what will happen.

This is the day, this is the day!

To cry and smile all day
Great times come to an end today
But stories survive of today
This is the day, this is the day!
For memories to grow today
Joy shines eternally today
For friendships last after today
This is the day, this is the day!
Soak up every moment today
Smile every second today
Oh, love every word said today
For no day will outshine today
This is the day, this is the day!
