Tell Me I Do Not Have Tomorrow Poem by david lessard

Tell me I do not have tomorrow,
Tell me I have just this day to live;
I will not dwell on last night's sorrow,
But I will focus on what I have to give.

I'll spread some joy to those around me,
I'll say a quiet prayer for you alone;
I'll hug a friend and let the others be,
I'll stay right here, no more a rolling stone.

I was a vagabond, Now I'm a root,
I was a drifter, Now I am at home;
I've shot all I care to shoot,
I no more long, to up and roam.

I'll give you all my love, that's for today,
I'll give you all my joy and all my trust;
And I will never more, steal off, away,
I will live just for this moment, as I must.

Tell me I don't have tomorrow,
Say this day is all I can afford;
Say I have no more dreams to borrow,
Your love and God's, is my reward.
