Tomorrow lies beyond the pale <br /> Yesterday may ne'er return <br /> Today is all we have to hold <br /> No matter how we yearn <br /> <br /> Look for love and live for love <br /> Remember words you held apart <br /> Tacit, sweet unspoken thoughts <br /> Locked forever in your heart <br /> <br /> Count not the times of parting <br /> Endless though they seem <br /> Days and nights beyond enduring <br /> Silent vigil, empty dream. <br /> <br /> Count instead those precious moments <br /> Brief, exquisite memories shared <br /> A touch, a look. a laugh, a tear, <br /> A time when someone cared.<br /><br />Charles J.
