Tomorrow

Tomorrow I may be dead!

Today I shall tell my wife and family 
how much I love them.

Tomorrow there may be tears!

Today I shall wear that coat that everyone
hates...except me.

Tomorrow there may be prayers!

Today I shall go roller skating
even though I have never tried before.

Tomorrow people may gather!

Today I shall eat greasy food and drink beer.

Tomorrow goodbyes may be said!

Today I shall look at women, just a little longer.

Tomorrow I may be just a memory!

Today I will push my way to the front of the queue
and when people ask me what the hell I am doing? 
I shall reply
I am living for today...
