We never know... Tomorrow

Missing image


Sometimes I walk tall
other days, I fail and fall too far

I worry for tomorrow
and all the precious days of my life

we just never know
how far we stand,  from the edge

But if I slipped away tomorrow
waved goodbye...  forever

I would dance in my memories
and be bless in the life I have lived

looking back,  both smiling and sad
at all the dreams I lived

A thousand pictures
pass thru my mind, & 22 thousand days

The miles I ran hard
to reach my goals, simply believing

and more,  than any other memory
the few who chose to hold my hand

 

touch my mind and heart
with loving Me

 

The very best part... of my life, thus far.




Lee

Author notes

I love the the reflective words, found in "The Book"
"There shall be good days and bad, so We... may know the difference"

Please forgive, my plane approch
I wanted to write something in a different style.

This is my five hundred and fifty first verse
and I only wanted, One Hundred good ones.

The words that are offered to me in care,
I pass on to Victoria

You know I wish you well Vic, Compelling contest
Love, Rick

    Hi Rick

    I wanted to drop in for at least a moment and see what you've been writing. I really have missed reading your work, as it always makes me either think or smile, or both. I loved the reflective nature of this especially, and since I've been thinking about that "edge" quite a bit lately, it seemed like something I was truly meant to read right about now. Oh, and I only saw one tiny thing you might want to change... "and be bless" I think you may have wanted "blessed" in there instead?

    It's so wonderful to see the support and caring you have for so many people who have shared in your life...I believe that's one of the things that makes you so special, and I know few who have a heart equal to the size of yours. So good to know you are writing, and I promise one day hopefully soon I will spend a full day catching up.

    Love ya always!
    Your "missing" AP wife (I hope, yet? lol)

    A great message and very well expressed. Sometimes you can look over the ledge because its closer, and the view of life is more beautiful (except for bad days). Like this poem and glad I read it!

    one of your best poem yet...

    ok, now lets see what i can come up with this time.
    i am one of the most blessed ladies on earth, just
    to know and love and care for you, wow what a gift.
    you are starting to worry me a bit there mr. with all
    this talk about time running out and what not. i really
    hope that you are ok, and maybe i am being a bit over
    protected with you, like i always am. but anyway i think
    you are one amazing man. you lived an incredible life.
    you have done so much, and giving so much of yourself
    to others. you have sure left a mark in my heart that will
    forever remain there. rick you lived your life well. yet you
    have so much more living to do. the world hasn't seened
    enough of you yet. i believe God has a few more missions
    he needs you to see through. your author note is almost
    as loving and touching and beautiful as your poem. i am
    just one of tons and tons of people who you have touched
    in such a loving and caring way. and i hope of know that
    tons and tons of people will never, ever forget you...
    how could they not mr.

    loveandblessings2u & yours always

    love you mr.

    you must have one very beautiful soul.
    the picture looks as if it is leading away to heaven,
    just beyond that beautiful sunset or sunrise, it lights the sky
    in all those magnificent colors. your story is touching, grabs the
    heart and makes one greatful for today and pray for another
    day to come. i got a feeling that many people has touched,
    you mind, your heart and loved you deeply. each word you
    have written is golden...

    That's so painful to think of, wondering about the future while still thinking of the past, but one's heart does warm up while thinking of all the happy times, the good people, the kind and gentle deeds. A wonderful poem that was so heart felt. Thanks for sharing this with us.

    Hi Rick. I don't always comment on your poems, I do read them. I just don't always know what to say, mainly because if you are sad, I wish you to be happy, sometimes your emotions are hard for me to swallow, because I care, or is it being selfish, maybe. This poem is no differant, it's hard for me to imagine you being gone, from life. I like your "plain" approach as you call it. You say a lot in this, but it is also simple and explains well, what is important to you. I really like this poem, you did well.
    love and ss,
    Michelle

      Hi Shelly


      I think the last hope we hold in our lives
      is the portfollo of memories we live with

      I look at this as both bright and dark
      kind of how the real events fold out

      I am lucky to have you care for my existance
      that`s just how you are... very CooooooooL

      Pleased you liked this Michelle, Rick
