Phyllis Babcock Poet Free verse

No Promises

Don't put life on hold until tomorrow
live your life  today
never put off what you mean to say
regretful that words were never spoken

Be a shining light lighting up the world 
glowing like the stars in the heavenly sky
say goodbye to yesterday
for yesterday has come and gone

Love like you have never loved
give like you have never given
share and expect nothing in return
no promises are given for a tomorrow.
