Tell me I do not have tomorrow, <br />Tell me I have just this day to live; <br />I will not dwell on last night's sorrow, <br />But I will focus on what I have to give. <br /> <br />I'll spread some joy to those around me, <br />I'll say a quiet prayer for you alone; <br />I'll hug a friend and let the others be, <br />I'll stay right here, no more a rolling stone. <br /> <br />I was a vagabond, Now I'm a root, <br />I was a drifter, Now I am at home; <br />I've shot all I care to shoot, <br />I no more long, to up and roam. <br /> <br />I'll give you all my love, that's for today, <br />I'll give you all my joy and all my trust; <br />And I will never more, steal off, away, <br />I will live just for this moment, as I must. <br /> <br />Tell me I don't have tomorrow, <br />Say this day is all I can afford; <br />Say I have no more dreams to borrow, <br />Your love and God's, is my reward.<br /><br />david lessard<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tell-me-i-do-not-have-tomorrow/
