Today

Yesterday watched, taught
And, finally brought
Tomorrow may love or hate
But must await

Today is like you
In some sort of way
It feels natural
And yet hard to say

A smile, a pout
A whisper, a shout
So busy, so free
And always about

Giving, taking
Kind and cruel
The simplest sage
And wisest fool

Sometimes sunny
Sometimes gray
Sometimes work
Sometimes play

Summer to Spring
Winter to Fall
Doing so much
Or nothing at all

Never too early
And never too late
Always right on time
Always worth the wait

The perfect balance
Lasting and fleeting
The perfect music
No skip or repeating

A long story
A single word
A promise made
A prayer heard

The master craft
The skill to hone
The blank canvas
The uncut stone

Through windy roads
Slow and steady
Ever present
Ever ready

Inspiring the mind
Enriching the heart
Unable to hold
Unable to part

You are my bad joke
My laugh til I cry
My reason to live
My reason to die

From dawn until dusk
I know you will stay

My always
Forever
Eternal
Today
