Tomorrow
You took proper care to stay just ahead of me,
but I never lost sight of your crafted distance.
My desire to be with you was strongly sincere
so, I often sat on your edge with persistence.
We never actually met until my school years
when your aspects appeared outside my school window
and my child’s mind zip-tingled so we could mingle.
We always played carefree in happy made simple.
Grown, you were my warmth thru all painful weather.
My hurt from life and people kept us together.
I held you while raising my challenged son,
and clutched you when his epilepsy had come.
I gave you my aches to comfort sad marriages,
then sought you when I lost to lonely and disparaged.
Know fears are no longer the strength shifting my gears.
My prayers have long been thanks stuffed, grateful for love.
Gently and sweetly, hear that I think of you no more.
You past tended me so well that my content now soars.
Still, children and broken one’s need you as peace tending faith's design.
Friend, you will warm me again when you rise with my last day's shine.
