Steal Away Poem by Francie Lynch

If I heard you say
Let's steal away
Tomorrow;
Let's drop the pretence
Of lies;
Let the missing years
Fade to memory's mist,
And put to rest
The best years
Of our lives.

I wouldn't ask,
But let tomorrow's
Light come soon.
It's a day
Ahead of me;
I'd look forward
To midnight
And to noon,
And savour
Every hour
In between.

I will wish
Today away;
Say good-bye
To yesteryears.
To all the fears,
And oate night sweats
And tears,
And embrace
Tomorrow's
Promising surprise.


Let's steal away
Like looters,
Thieving all
That's left.
