Live For Today

A warm winds joins me for a cold glass of iced tea under the rising summer sun drying the morning dew off of the freshly laid sod bringing to light life's little questions where am I heading who am I I look at my reflection in the dripping drinking glass seeing a weathered old soul a head of hair turning grey piercing blue eyes hiding her memory wishing not for tomorrows but that today would stay that today will be the day the day I fly to her the day I take her hand when our hearts become one The day she leads me to His promised land wishing not for tomorrows but that today would stay I would look, look at her and see a lifetime, lifetime of making memories
