Just for Today

Just for today, I'd like to not feel like I have to fight for my kid

or that I have to convince people he DOES belong

Just for today, I'd like to not have a lump in my throat

or a huge knot in my stomach

Just for today, I'd like there to be no phone calls and emails

or the need to explain to people the same things over and over and over

Just for today, I'd like to not have to champion my son

or to feel like if I don't speak up my son, and others like him,

will be bullied and hurt by the people who are supposed to help them

Just for today I'd like the world to not be a scary

and potentially dangerous place for my son

Just for today I wish people could just do the right thing

because it's the right thing to do
