Today

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

Today is quite different
Like you, in a way
It comes natural
And yet hard to say

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

Giving and taking
Kindhearted and cruel
The simple young sage
And wisend old fool

Sometimes you’re sunny
And other times gray
Sometimes you’re work
But most the time play

You’re never too early
And never too late
Always right on time
Always worth the wait

From Summer til Spring
Through Winter to Fall
We get done so much
And yet nothing at all

You’re perfectly balanced
Of lasting and fleeting
The music too special
For skips or repeating

A long pleasant story
A single bad word
All promises made
All my prayers heard

The masterful craft
The skill left to hone
The unpainted canvas
The uncut stone

Upon bumpy roads
We’ll go slow and steady
With you, ever present
And me, ever ready

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

You give to me vision
Sound, smell, touch, and taste
Each moment I have you
To relish or waste

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

From dawn until dusk
I want you to stay

My always
Forever
Eternal
Today
