Today
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Dear child of today.
Today I write to you.
This poem to greet you.
To meet you.
To say I see you.
See you as today.
You are my today.
Today I forgot how it is to be you.
Today is forever
A time spent together.
Wherever you are.
On this or that star.
Today you had many things to say.
I hear you.
I love you.
You are my prayer.
And will always be there.
Today is you.
Without you there is no tomorrow.
Each today will reach out to you.
Take today.
Claim today I am the day.
Share today in a good way.
