Love Today

When I close my eyes,

here is what I see,

glass slippers of every size,

but none that quite fit me.

I could make them all fit,

if I cut off parts of myself,

if I would be counterfeit,

and put my heart on shelf.

I have choices, more than a few,

but the choice with my attention

has nothing to do with a shoe,

a social climb, or royal ascension.

We are happy in the moment,

will we be happy in the next?

Is true love our bestowment,

or is it just a dreamer’s pretext?

The future is a worry for tomorrow,

when we count happiness by the day.

So let tomorrow never come,

And happily ever after be happily today.
