This Ordinary Day

While others mourn

I will not celebrate

This Ordinary Day

I will live

I will work

I will appreciate

This Ordinary Day

I will see

I will hear

I will enjoy other’s company

On This Ordinary Day

I will eat

I will laugh

I will smile

This Ordinary Day

I will ignore others’ mourning

As I am not celebrating

I am living

This Ordinary Day
