| Only Today |
| No yesterdays - no tomorrows No plans for this afternoon; No "next week" or "remember when?" It's all gone away too soon. We have this moment only To bring that happy smile, And even it will not be ours In just a little while. Too late for family history, Too late for recipes- Too late for how and why and when or "Home made" remedies. Too late to have the long talk or to sing an old song or two - Too late to hear you cheer for me, But I see a hero in you! I could even stay away... And you wouldn't really miss me But bonds of love go deeper than This horrid illness' history. We only have this moment And it is fleeting fast The things that pass between us Just for this instant last... So...let's announce the challenge! Who can bring a smile, a laugh? Who can sing a song that lights the eyes And gives the heart a lift? For we've darkness all around us and We've grieved enough today; Give me a smile, we'll walk awhile and Claim victory ... for this day! |
