The Community Story Board prompt was posted by LindaGHill and can cover any interpretation the author wishes. So here is my view of One Day.

Life One Day by John W. Howell © 2013

One day the sun will bring,

One day the rain will fall.

One day the birds will sing,

One day the Robins fall.

One day the morn will dawn.

One day the night will fall.

One day the smile will spawn,

One day the frown will fall.

One day the child is born,

One day the soul will fall.

One day peace is not torn,

One day the bombs will fall.

One day we are here,

One day the tears will fall.

One day is always near,

One day not to fall.
