Shannon Deane Poet Free verse

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow

Someone once gave me advice
That same person cared
More than I realized at the time
Now forever a memory
One slowly fading with time
Know that I love you
And miss you everyday
My lifeline to the world.

A constant unwavering presence
Never will I find again
One so honest and open
The truth never hurt
I miss everything that was
What can never be again 
Reality in all it's glory
A fading memory of wisdom

Strength and courage unmeasurable
Never truly reaching own potential
Always seeing in others
What not everyone could see
It's taken years for me to realize
Only after you've been gone
Do I see what I should have
That I have more to offer now

Poet Destroyer A November 17, 2011 at 9:49 PM Dear Shannon,, i came to see your first poem..lol... already had my comment on it..plus more.. Than I'd seen this title. And told myself how the title speaks for it's self. I think, if we could speak tomorrow about today, life would still find a way to fade..i know i make no sense.. but, i have been given advice ,,, and woke up later regretting the facts.. that now I wish i had... this is a very nice poem..Thank you for sharing,..p.d.
