Best Here Today Gone Tomorrow Poems

I knew one day
you'd spread your wings
you'd take my heart
when you cut 
our strings

through the years
Id daydream alot,
worried about that day
then I'd think to myself
"She's a well rounded girl
with brains to boot,
eh she'll be okay"

Now it's all changed
as that day is here
the anxiety of a...

One day I was sitting in a field
Ogling at my afternoons yield
When across the road I seen
A lovely meadow so green
Cars don't see fur as a shield

Hair today, gone tomorrow, it's starting to thin really fast
Thought I'd be one of those centurions with locks down past my ass
Think again, old fellow
You're starting to turn yellow
Don't want to pass on till my youthful appearance does pass

Someone once gave me advice
That same person cared
More than I realized at the time
Now forever a memory
One slowly fading with time
Know that I love you
And miss you everyday
My lifeline to the world.

A constant unwavering presence
Never will I find again
One so honest and open
The truth never...

And there for one brief moment
Was our light
Shining strong
And shining bright
Bringing us new signs of hope
With courage
And the gift to cope
He left us when he's needed most 
Returning to the Blessed Host
With caring grace 
And love of man
This leader came
Did all he can
All must remember...

If i died today would you remember me tomorrow?
Would your heart be left in constant sorrow?
Would you cry for me as you wore that black gown?
Would your smile turn upside down?
Would you pray for me to be in a better place?
Would you put my ashes...

Hosannas     joy without end

Chapel bells on Christmas Eve
Yearly drive to see the lights
Giant tree...

Anyway, while they were enjoying the moment, I began to muse. Later that evening I
composed this:

My daughter is...

Here today, gone tomorrow
Too often comes as a surprise
From the joy to the sorrow 
All can happen overnight

What you have that you hold onto
Often can slip out of hand
Be it old or be it brand new
Be it life or be it death

Here today, gone tomorrow
Where...
