Tomorrow Vs Tonight

Tomorrow I will find the grace To do what is right To take a stand To struggle on Tomorrow Tomorrow I will search for peace To accept my lot To be content with my dreams To just BE Tomorrow Tomorrow I will find the will To conquer and achieve To push against odds To believe But tonight… Tonight I will cry Let my bitter tears fall Let my lonely heart call Let my mouth fill with gall Let my courage stall Tonight… I have no will to fight I have no will to dream I have no will to believe Tonight…. Tonight I wouldn't mind If there were no tomorrow At all... For me Eileen Manassian Ghali

Eileen, I too brought two of your poems to my poetry group...contrasting emotions--- Raging and Love. They were moved by the feelings. Thank you. Allan

Brighter days....brighter days. They wait for a wanton, incipient discovery.

Thanks, Drake....I have my good and bad days....unfortunately for me...the bad are REALLY bad...On the flip side, the good are out of this world...No middle grounds...hardly ever. This was one of the darkest...I'm glad I made it through....

One of my all-time fave songs, girlfriend. I classic indeed. I love Don Maclean's version. From my lips to your ears: THIS WORLD WAS NEVER MEANT FOR ONE AS BEAUTIFUL AS YOU. Warm hugs, my friend. :)

Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxHnRfhDmrk I can never listen to this without shedding a tear..."You took your life as lovers often do...but I could have told you, Vincent, this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you." ......."How you struggled for your sanity, how you tried to set them free. They did not listen they did not know how....perhaps they'll listen now"...Cries for help, are OFTEN unheard, Licia. Thanks for hearing. Love ya for it. Hugs

Girlfriend.... :) It's a new day...I'm more hopeful...You are right....Weekend is here, and there are a lot of responsibilities I have to carry out. I need to survive...for now. Honestly though, it sometimes just seems overwhelming...Listen to Starry Starry Night...it always makes me cry because...that's a description not only of Van Gogh...the troubled artist..but also me.....

Tonight, my dear Eileen, you just another human too human! Tomorrow, the giant in you will stand up and all fears of tonight will obliterate. To morrow you will be YOU AGAIN , fighting and conquering! God bless your tonight's tears!
