Today

One day,
one day I would stand here and tell you all the things you needed to know,
and I would shed a tear to tell you that it was true when I said I believed we were great,
that greatness was possible in all of us,

One day,
one day I would hold strong in my sentiments,
and I would not veer off any paths that did not go forward,
just as I promised we would stay the course,
and I would remind you all about when we were fired up,
when we were ready to go,

One day,
one day I would hold your hand the way I promised I would,
the way I had done all along,
and I would lose my voice because it mattered that I did so,

One day,
one I day I would remind you that my change was our change,
and our change was the kind of change I believed in,
the kind I still believe in,

One day,
one day you will hold my hand,
and you will finish what we started,
with me,
right here alongside the pool of conscience

One day,
some day
