If tomorrow doesn't come for me
and this is all the time I get.
I will go without regret.

For I have lived a lot of yesterdays
and savored each today.
I've laughed and cried,
been loved,and felt the warmth
of anothers touch.
I have given of myself to
others and haven't missed much,
and what I missed wasn't suppose
to be for me.So if tomorrow doesn't
come for me,I go without regret.

To all of those I leave behind,
thanks for a wonderful time.
I could not ask for more. For
I've been blessed to know and have
been loved and experienced the
very best.

So if tomorrow I'm not meant to see
please do not cry for me.
For I am free and you can find me,
dancing on the winds on a warm summers day
or sliding down rainbows after it rains.
For it is only my body that is gone,
my spirit will live on forever.

Great positive approach to life.

"dancing on the winds on a warm summer day
or sliding down rainbows after it rains."

Very nice words - smooth and flowing with grace and ease.

Thanks so much for the kind words. I have been busy researching my family tree. I am just now putting it in some logical order to print. It has given me much to reflect on. Funny how sometimes you must stop what you are doing because the pencil won't let you finish what you are writing because there is something there that needs to get out.nona
