Cradle me in your warm embrace Let all our cares and worries just fade away Lets let tomorrow fend for itself For now we have today. Today is for lovers, dreamers, and fools We may be all three who knows But right now all I need is you And who cares how tomorrow goes. So hold me close right next to your heart Let me feel your rising passion We may not have tomorrows dreams But we have today to wish on. And when the sun sets on this today And we give in to the need to sleep It wont be tomorrow when we wake It will be one more today to keep. And so we go one today at a time We dont need to look ahead No one knows what tomorrow may bring So lets love for today instead. |

Beautiful work Paula...letting tomorrow take care of itself and just living in the moment of the here and now allows us a memory to look back on with fondness rather than regret. Excellent writing~ |

*bows Sun- You have captured, and very well, the day to day feeling of romance in it's most raw state. The last line is a fabulous closing phrase. *bows* Nathan |

Sun = Hun, heh, my apologies... (how ironic, you were the one that instructed me to not be apologetic for mistakes and typos)  Nathan |

"For now we have today" so true that we need to embrace and enjoy the moment...I savor each moment I spend with Mina and I tell her and sometimes she tells me to cool down but I want her to understand when we are apart that I appreciate every minute we spend together...James |

Today is for lovers, dreamers, and fools We may be all three who knows But right now all I need is you And who cares how tomorrow goes. Awesome Paula - this is wonderfully portrayed - longing and hope. *sigh* Christopher Read my Words. Read my Face. Don't just look at either. -Me- |

Paula, this is a wonderful poem, and a very good piece of advice. So hard when even today is snatched away, though. I wish you happiness. Sandra |
