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
