Steven J. LeBlanc
The poem below was written by Steven J. LeBlanc’s son Michael.
Today
Time to move forward – it’s a brand new day.
I’m not gonna waste it – no how, no way.
Today is a blessing – I’m alive – what a gift.
It’s my call to action, my bountiful shift.
Forget about yesterday, it’s all in the past.
I’ll reach my goals – I’ll do it – at last.
Gonna win – gonna make it – one step at a time.
‘Cause failure’s no longer an option of mine.
Gonna love like I mean it, live hard and work steady,
Forgive and make peace – so if time’s up – I’m ready.
This world spins around for better or worse,
I’ll use my wisdom to receive what I disperse.
I’ll kneel for my prayers with faith and get rest
‘Cause no matter the outcome – Today I did my best.
