Living For Tomorrow By Paul Wilson He who lives for today isn’t living at all I live for tomorrow the past I can’t recall Today was tomorrow before it was today I was watching the clock as time slipped away No more wasted days each one special to me I’ve got things to do places to go… sites to see The call of adventure keeps leading me on Renewing my spirit with coming of each dawn When all my tomorrows become yesterday Remember I lived for tomorrow and not today I’ve checked the clock of life again today No more tomorrows for me today I’ll fade away ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ Paul |

I so much like this one Paul. My father's favourite saying was, "Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday" Now as the days seemingly fly by.. I understand exactly what it means. Your piece reminded me of it, and him, so very much. Thank you! Hugs~Nancy For it was not into my ear you whispered |

Paul~ I just absolutely ADORE this piece~ I'm going to squeeze these words on those tomorrows that I need them~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |
