Today-I will awaken an Indian

Today I will play with my kids from early in the morn
Today I will set the newspapers aside
Today I will come out of the loo to spend those precious moments with you
Who knows if its 26.11

Today I wont scowl at the neighbor's baby as she wails for the unknown
Today I wont stare down the milkman when he takes a while to move from the elevator
Today I wont think funny of my neighborhood laughter club
Who knows if its 26.11

Today I will sit as a family at breakfast
Today I will talk about my work ahead
Today I will talk about your day that will be in school
Who knows if its 26.11

Today I will tease my son about the crush I think he has
Today I will mimic my daughter and see her smile
Today I will make sure we all laugh
Who knows if its 26.11

Today I won't get angry
Today I won't let you go without letting you know I love you
Today I won't want anything to stop me calling you from work
Who knows if it's 26.11

Today I wont leave home without putting things back in place
Today I wont let anything stop me from teaching you that new recipe
Today I wont fuss as you fuss about my gleaming polished shoes
Who knows if its 26.11

Today I will tell you how tired I am after parking all those cars
Today I will tell you how many guests I smiled at
Today I will tell you about all those delayed orders that I took care of
Who knows if its 26.11

Today I won't dine with my friends
Today I won't celebrate my anniversary
Today I won't drink for longer than you asked me to
Who knows if its 26.11

Today I won't come to the hospital
Today for the needy I won't care
Today I will return home early
Who knows if its 26.11

Today I won't take the train
Today I won't wait in the waiting room
Today I won't loiter about the platform
Who knows if its 26.11

Today I will call my parents who are far away from me
Today I will hear the twinkle in their eye
Today I will see the words and love that they share with me
Who knows if its 26.11

Today I will queue up my car at a security check
Today I will be patient
Today I will smile at the man doing his duty
Who knows if its 26.11

Today I will wave at the cop from the ac confines of my car
While he toils in the sun
Today I will not grit my teeth at the traffic
Today I will smile at my anonymous neighbor in the jam
Who knows if its 26.11

Today I wont slight away the waiter as he offers me finger food
Today I will remember that I did the same so many years ago
Today I will give my best to the ever smiling door man
Who knows if its 26.11

Today I will not throw garbage on the road
Today I will not dirty my own house
Today I will not allow you to walk all over me
Who knows if its 26.11

Today I will try and influence a good deed
Today I will awaken a conscience
Today I will do my bit to create an Indian
Who knows if its 26.11

Today I wont allow you to get away from all that you are doing that is wrong
Today I will want answers from you for the questions that I have asked
Today I will ensure I will not be cowed by your goons
I don’t want again a 26.11
