Holding On

Holding on
Holding safe 
Letting go
Not to replace love
With hate. 

It may be
Tomorrow 
It may be
Later today 
I will see the world 
In a wondrous
New way.

Coming Close

 

Coming close
Seeing the design of the heart
Beating next to mine.

Hoping for words
To say the honest truth
Here and someday
When I know the answer
And the question asked
Just yesterday.

See me tomorrow
Later today
Know that I love you
Need you close in my life
Each and every
Everyday.

Today

Seething in the mist
Saddened by sorrow
Struggling to say
I don’t know why I let it effect me
Today.

Maybe tomorrow
Maybe later today I’ll feel better
I’ll let it go and celebrate
Everything sweet and beautiful
I experience just
Today.
