Better Now That You Are Still There And I Am Here Poem by Paula TH

Through sickness and health
I know them both well
Nothing I can do to make time go in reverse
The things I have done in life was all work putting money in my purse
If you were ill I would run to you
If I am ill, you run away
You should be ashamed of yourself yesterday and today
Put the bottle down, look around...it is one life to live
Don't look back with eyes glazed over from alcohol, give
Don't blame me with that drink in your hand
Time is slipping away grains of sand through your hand
Yesterday is tomorrow
Leave me here
I am here
