Yesterday,today And Tomorrow...

if tomorrow should
be more different than today
and find me in a different way
please let it be known
I didn't want it this way

if today should end
a bit different than yesterday
and you see me so differently
please allow me to say
the pain will go away

if yesterday seemed much better
than today and tomorrow
from memories you wish to borrow
some memories are allowed to escape

yesterday is far gone
today is almost over
tomorrow approaches rapidly

appreciate past yesterdays
embrace all of your todays
welcome all of your tomorrows

for they too will become
our tomorrows of
yesterdays and todays
keep your memories

close to your heart
until the memory bank
in your heart and your mind
can not accept anymore deposits of life
i ask you to please let me move on..
so you may live your life
without me and please move on..

------- Author's Notes -------

written in request from a friend
after his brother found his wife in a coma from a D.O..
i am told her body remains alive
brain is non functional
has become dependent on tube feeding
and remains in a vegetative state...
he is unsure of what to do..
God will shine his light through...

You're friend Clive

Each day we live is a day to bless,
Each day we give never knowing the price,
Each day tell those in you're hearts there loved,
Each day you live,
Live it as you're last,

Always great to read and feel you're words Terrie thank you for you.

Real Love, Goes All The way

Terrie,

When a man loves a woman, key word here is love, from a man to a woman, the coma, begain, long ago. As hearts, become one, there is the knowledge, this love will not last foever in the mind, of the comman perception. No coma, can ever change a heart, when its love was freely given and most of all, freely accepted. No love is lost, it remains in the heart and in time as it will come back to us all, both hearts, will touch again, no, no tears will be shed, so if you love someone, be ready, to go ALL THE WAY!

Martin,

thank you so much for you comment..yes true love can be faced w/difficult decisions. especiall pertaining to the quality of life of the one you love whom is brain dead and their quality of life is not the best, do we keep them a live for our benefit( full code) or when the time comes do we let them go as God intended (D.N.R)?
LIFE/LOVE DECISIONS ARE TOUGH thats why it's best to leave it up to God...
