Tomorrows Are Forever
(Yesterday's Are In The Past)
By Paul Wilson


I've lived too many yesterdays
waiting for my pain too end
Today I'll live for the future
and start my life over again

I'm getting stronger everyday
my goal in life is crystal clear
I've got my tomorrows to live for
and I don't need you here

There were times I almost quit
trying on the road to who I am
I'm better off today because
I have my tomorrows and I give a damn

I saw you in the store the other day
you still looked the same me
You tempted me as I walked by
like an old friend I use too see

You made me stronger
by breaking me down
I now wear a smile on my face
where there use to be a frown

I may think of my yesterdays
from time too time you see
I'll live for my tomorrows
and thank God I am finally free

~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~

Dear Paul, this is so beautiful and SO WISE!

To detach from a painful past is not easy, but NECESSARY.

And no greater satisfaction than opening up and see the NEW blessings fill our hearts.

Wonderful for Dixie and all!

Love, Margherita

Paul, you are an absolute gem ~ and a very sweet and compassionate one at that!

Paul, your caring heart is showing! ~ and your talent. These words are sure to give a measure of comfort to our Darlin' Dixie. Every bit of love and understanding that is shown to her, will add to her strength.

God bless you both!

The hardest times in our lives, I believe, are the greatest time of growth.  Enjoyed these wisdom words!

"You made me stronger
by breaking me down"

Here in Hurricane country, you know, there is a stubborn tendency to rebuild, and the next time, dammit, we double brace our rooftops.

Such a kind soul you are, you spoke to me, and many otheres, with this empathetic write.

Serenity...Thank you for your kind and understanding words...Paul

Damn the hurricanes, they may knock us down but they can't take our spirit away, we just keep building the levee's higher and the bowl just gets deeper....
