Today I Am Here

Today I am here...
To see the rising sun.
Tomorrow like the sunset, I may be gone.

Today I am here...
To watch the raindrops fall.
Tomorrow like the dark clouds,
I may be gone.

Today I am here...
Like the rainbow, after the storm.
Tomorrow I may go away,
Our last chance gone.

Today I am here...
Like the stars in the night.
Tomorrow I may say good-bye.

Today I am here...
Like the moonbeams in the night.
Tomorrow I may fade away,
With the suns bright light.

Today I am here...
Like the thunder before a storm.
Tomorrow like the lighting,
I may be gone.

Today I am here...
Like the wind that brushes your face.
Tomorrow like the winds sigh,
I may leave this place.

Today I am here...
Like the oceans waves.
Tomorrow I may slip away from this place.

Today I am here...
Close by your side.
Plese let us make love our guide.

You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
