MINDFUL OF TODAY

this is a new day
filled with possibility
potential good things to come
not a guarantee
but it can be built by me
it can be created now

I am creator
maker of my own present
maker of my own future
the past is gone now
this is my special today
this is my special right now

Choka

The early form consisted of a series of Katuata joined together. This gives a choice of form structures of ..... 5 - 7 - 7 - 5 - 7 - 7.. etc, or .. 5 - 7 - 5 - 5 - 7 - 5.. etc.
