Today Was the Second Best Day Ever

"Best day ever!"  I had a habit of sayin'
After another day of plentiful playin'
Then came the dawn.
This here day's gone!
Tomorrow's the best 'cause this'n ain't stayin'

~

Today can only be the best
Until it takes a nighttime rest
Tomorrow's task
For all.   To bask
In the shadow of a new day's breast

Jan Allison Date: 7/30/2017 12:57:00 PM Today is the best day ever John as we never know if we will wake to see 'tomorrow' we can only hope - From the title I thought the poem was about me not 'leaving' oh how wrong can a gal be she says with firmly tongue in check lol lol :-) hugs jan xx Login to Reply Lim'Rik Flats Date: 7/31/2017 8:04:00 AM My mountain biking partner and I have so many great rides we always say "best day ever!" I decided since we can expect tomorrow's ride to be even more awesome, then today is second best. (a little too much of an inside joke;-). (Or attitude:-) I never once doubted your zinger. You couldn't leave or tomorrow wouldn't come and I wouldn't be sipping coffee and being silly this morning:) Cheermiskins and huggadooskies! ~ j
