For Tomorrow and Beyond

Hopes and aims of today and tomorrow
In light of existence, may lead to sorrow
Siblings are taken, into account and viewed
In the overall picture, freedom is to be true

Where does one go, when one has to move on
Where does one work, for tomorrow to go on
When you reach an age, new lands you move to
The need for commitment, on the door you go through

Siblings, my family -  the heart of my soul
They have to be, it's part of my goal
I am them and they are me
Where ever i go, they have to be free

Will today or tomorrow be then undecided
My children and me, we will never be divided
Time will tell, as all would be agreed
My three boys and one girl, are apart of me

Very contemplative powerful lines ... like a ship looking for the certainty of the shore it anchors us to our human reality. Thanks for sharing this journey. Peace and love

Salute to the family. One thing I have taught mine, when you can't rely on anyone else rest assured you can count on family. Enjoyed the read.

How true.. children are a part of each parent and especially loved are they... your expressions of fatherly love, care and concern are so genuinely written in this emotional poem... take it from me .. they always return to the "nest" even after they leave.. its a magnet drawing them from the emotional bond at birth.. they will be there for tomorrow and beyond... don't u worry Highlander... luv and blessing.. "Sweetheart"

Surely your love for your family will keep you close knit no matter what else the future may bring, James. I know this comes straight from our precious heart. Another favorite for me tonight! You are on a roll, Highlander. You always get to the "Heart of the Matter" as Don Henley sings. Love you, carolyn
