Next Time
Next time
We will have more time
To sit
To laugh
Share our secrets
Talk about our yesterdays
Dream of our tomorrows
Next time
I will be more patient
Less critical
I will only see the good
The best of you
I will cherish your laughter
See beyond what I need
Next time
I will celebrate
Stand up and cheer
Marvel at your skill
Brag about you
Yes you
Your accomplishments
Your spirit
I will be proud
I will be the loudest in the room
Next time
I will not be distracted
By so many things
I will ignore the cell phone
Put down the remote control
Turn off my computer
Next time
Will be here and now
Today
Yes today
I see you
I am with you
In this moment
For this hour
For this day
In this way
This is our time
Take my hand
Sit with me
No
Do you really have to go
I understand
Next time!
