Life plays tricks on us all Making us believe there will always be tomorrow. So you put off one more day That difficult task you dread, The romp in the park with the kids, Or the moonlight swim with your love. Til one day you wake up And the task has gone to younger minds The kids are grown with kids of their own And your love is just ashes of an indifferent fire. And now all you have left are yesterdays dreams. |

"Yesterday. . . All my troubles seemed so far away, Now it looks as thought they're here to stay. . ." You been reading my mind tonight Paula?? This is excellent, and sad. . . Well done. . . ------------------------------------------------------ That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

And your love is just ashes of an indifferent fire. And now all you have left are yesterdays dreams. Killer lines here girl.....wish I had come up with these. This is beautiful and sad but much mort than that...the message it carries it's way through loud and clear. |

Paula* There are several people in my life that I'm printing this up for....too many "wait till tomorrow"...I for one believe that you should never wait to say "I love You" or wait to share a moment of time with someone. This held a beautiful message, great writing indeed~ |

And now all you have left are yesterdays dreams. I thought that way but I now look to the future and what it may bring good as well as the bad wipeing the eyes here |

Paula... You are so eloquent with your words, "..your love is just ashes of an indifferent fire.." Too many couples end up this way, because they forgot to stoke the fire.... Beautiful work, my friend!! ~~ To Live is to Give ~~ |

Paula, you just taught a class on Reality 101. This is an excellent piece. I especially like The kids are grown with kids of their own And your love is just ashes of an indifferent fire. Thank you for sharing it. *S* Evan With a long held breath given dark freedom, the single flame in sorrow's window flickers out. ~EWD~ |
