Love … Tomorrow

I loved you yesterday 

I love you today 

But, can I 

love you tomorrow 

Loving you yesterday 

requires no effort 

It has happened 

It is a constant source 

of joy in my life 

All the smiles 

the laughter 

the tears 

the strength 

have all passed 

like the winds swirling 

around and past me 

Loving you today 

While it is not simple 

it is the great joy 

of my life 

It is still the wind 

not swirling past 

but lifting me daily 

It is my foundation 

my stillpoint 

my lifeline 

You are my tether 

tying my heart 

to today 

Without your love today

I would drift 

like a feather 

in the wind 

Can I love you 

tomorrow 

Standing in the breeze 

at the end of the day 

feeling the love of the past 

leaning on the love of today 

there is a hope for tomorrow 

Tomorrow brings challenges 

It carries uncertainty 

There is apprehension 

but there is anticipation 

Tomorrow offers a new slate 

Yesterday is gone 

Today is fading 

Tomorrow is what I see 

I need to love you 

tomorrow 

I need the wind 

I need the tether 

I need to love you 

tomorrow
