i will never qualify for sainthood
there is too much of the wild in me
too much wanting and wishing
accompanied by an unwillingness
to wait for any damn thing
i am so far from perfect
and yet in some way grateful
for the imperfections which define me
the world and her abundant bounty
will always beckon me, calling the wild
run hard, breathe deep and understand
that tomorrow is the unknown
today, this moment, is all i have

Very true, all we have is this moment.
