Jfk the Night Before

JFK - THE NIGHT BEFORE We'll nevermore mention some things we could tell, your struggle so long getting here, there's no man in heaven who's not been through hell nor never a man without fear; Your world must go on in just part of a day, with what you've been doing thus far, tonight you must sleep, where you go's a long way, from where you have been, and who you are; you've given your best, and some times you've done less, We'll not mention which one set you free. From where you will go, all the world in its mess will see death is what life must be; the world may forget some things you have done; tomorrow won't be a whole day; but nothing's as bad as to keep holding on to a dream that has gone away; there's less of tomorrow than comes to your mind, and some might see this as a crime, take all you might need from all you might find, the world will love you for all time. © ron wilson aka Vee Bdosa the Doylestown poet
