Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. (Matthew 6:34)

Today is a good day to die
I have loved and I experienced hate,
I have lived in a dream what I have not yet achieved
I cried out of love, pain and frustration.
I've been able to laugh at myself, and that is the laughter I've enjoyed the most.
I've been relentless with someone who needed a lesson
I've apologized and acknowledged my mistakes
I have forgiven because that frees my spirit
I repudiate when there are things I don't consider fair.
I went to jail with someone who needed company
I've been drunk
The best drug is the satisfaction of a job well done.
One day by accident I left the store without paying for something and didn't return it.
I rode the carousel
I have never done sex, I've made love.
I've learned to use common sense when in doubt, it always work
I've sang, and danced
I've imitated others, and looked stupid
I am a wife, mother, grandmother, a friend, and I'm a mother in law.
I greet with respect to my ex-husband's wife
I accept it when I lose
I take many risks, sometimes I win and sometimes I learn
I accept myself with all my faults and virtues
I don't like mediocre
I'm not perfect; just do my best.
Gambling and losing teaches me not to walk the same road again.
I am bilingual
I try not to criticize others.
I try to understand human behavior.
I have a dog that is named "senorita"
I love to impress
I've bathe in the rain
I've experience at first hand betrayal.
I have traveled by train, plane, and public buses.
I've slept on the floor; I feel panic for snakes, disgusted by cockroaches.
I had mother and father that I didn't enjoy enough, and that hurts.
I don't have a mother in law; she is my husband's mom
I have a friend who is my husband.
I have children who are also my friends
I have daughters-in-law who are like my daughters.
I have grandchildren who think I am rich.
I've experience a toothache, the sting of a bee, ant and a scorpion
I have eaten tortilla with salt; I have eaten in the car
I have dine at expensive restaurants, and love tacos on the street.
I deal with people who feel superior to others, they look so small from above (this is a joke)
I always had money in my pocket, which happens to people who work.
I talk a lot, I am smart, intelligent.
Once I washed the blood from someone who took his own life,
The smell of death is the only smell that you can't make disapear; it leaves when it wants.
I am a successful mother of two boys and a girl
I prayed and I felt the presence of God.
I will never be a pilot, diver, or ride a bicycle.
Today is a good day to die.
LaMore.

HILDA: You are so very fantastic!

I loved this poem, you are authentic!
I just re-read this again, and it reallay spoke to me. Today is not a good day to die for me. I have too many regrets. Thanks for making me realize this, and take stock. I would hate to die in this "stuck" place that I seem to be in today. Your poem has given the courage to move forward and do what I need to do and stop putting it off! Stop saying, "Tomorrow I will." Live in today and make the most of it. Thank you so much. I am very grateful that I found you!
Wow - this is amazing. You weave the words together so easily this flows so well and the sentiment! Ah the sentiment!
how on earth did I miss this before?
