in this moment of now
we live all our life
in this moment
is the fullness of time
is this tick of the clock
is this heartbeat
is all that will ever be
this is where
our dreams become action
where our courage
actually moves mountains
where love
touches our very soul
where all that is
actually is
we have a choice
we always have a choice
this is where we choose
to make this moment
worth what we have paid for it
what we have earned from life
to be here and now
and here
in this moment
by the everlasting grace of God
I choose to live
with all I am
with all I have
My New American Flag 11/11/2011 Porterville CA JLW [152BT] (Dedicated to ALL who have served our USA) I have my new American flag flying today it was clearly made with pride it was “Made in America” it replaces one made in China nothing is quite wrong with it and yet it has always had that “not quite” flavor even with the form-fit-function that replicas always seem to have my new American flag has heart created by people who love this land where capitalism starts from within the soul and spreads its blessing far and wide made by people who feel the pride of American Exceptionalism regardless of how they came to be here There is heart in my new American flag it is the same heart given to us by the young firebrands who stepped up and pledged their very lives and sacred honor when they created our Declaration of Independence it is the same heart given to us by the young firebrands who stepped up and pledged their very lives and sacred honor and have given their lives on the field of battle throughout the world to buy this precious freedom we have today it is the same heart given to you and I it is nothing more nor less than American Exceptionalism for us to wear proudly yet again in the bright sunshine of this new day

Love your voice tone and articulation in the poem. And, the message of now! Very nice.
Hi Deni: thanks for your reply. I am working on my write-up for my books on the website. For “if I Only” Your positive comments were used as selection criteria for almost all of the poems. You have always been so very supportive – – I appreciate it; all of it.
