Tomorrow

A poem lacing the ideas of feeling someone's life would be better without you, while still seeking your purpose and direction even if it takes you away from them. Your sun will shine again tomorrow The day is born for you And these many leagues now separate The part of me we knew With wind billowing in these sails The fading of the shore May your thoughts turn to your life And seek me out no more For where I go your heart can't follow The storms they are of risk The war we wage for king and country Will not be short or brisk May you know my heart will wander The coasts of your happiness And I will pray that life surrenders you Not but the greatest bliss So I ask, fear no longer for my safety I chose to face these wars And I am bound for honor and glory Wherever this ship moors The light will grace you when you wake I ask you show no sorrow As I hope to be the distant memory Lost to your tomorrow

This poem means a great deal to me for it hits home in a way that only my very best and truest friend can understand. It is so beautiful that my eyes welled and tears began to flow. Once again you have a way of expressing the most human of feelings in the most beautiful way!
