Here Today Gone Tomorrow
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 loss
is what i fear
With tears in our eyes
you tell

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow
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 have you placed all your eggs
Do you beg, steal, or

Here Today Gone Tomorrow
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 in vase?
Or would you spread them gently out to sea?
For

Here Today Gone Tomorrow a Tribute To President John Fitzgerald Kennedy
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 what he gave
His dreams for us
Are what we save

Thanksgiving and Christmas Day
We forget I hate to say
Colors – uplifting music
The great festival of friends
Hosannas joy without end
Chapel bells on Christmas Eve
Yearly drive to see the lights
Giant tree oh what a sight!
Amazing special passions
Filled with

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow
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 hurt
I miss everything that was
What can never be again
Reality

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow
This sonnet was inspired while celebrating my daughter’s birthday. Everyone was eating
cake except me. I hardly ever eat sweets. “A moment on the lips, forever on the hips”.
Anyway, while they were enjoying the moment, I began to muse. Later that evening I
composed this:
My daughter is older by a year today.
She is thirty-seven. I wonder where
