Whether I know it or not
There is a reason I woke up today
Someone will need me
Or I will need today’s training
To be ready for a tomorrow
More useful to myself and to
Those someones who need me
Yet I cannot be ready
To face the unexpected
And unwanted challenges of today
Until I know I am equal to whatever
Variety of chaos may come my way
Just waking up is not enough
But deciding not to give up is
