Annie's Sun

Annie’s Sun

Today is yesterday’s tomorrow,
Oh, Annie, if your song would say,
Sun follows and follows and follows,
Ah, but it is only a song today,

This poem took its form in that yesterday,
Different was this day to be, and yet,
One foot barely follows another, 
I long for your happy hair of red.

Yesterday’s hope proved futile,
Though today’s hope will banish sorrow,
And one day Sandy will Arf,
And hope will win joy - tomorrow.

I was intrigued with this one. Sandy will arf? Sandy is a dog? Not exactly my cup of tea. (Little orphan Annie, I mean), but using the words to make up the original poem was very clever and creative! Well done my friend!....pat
