Yesterdays And Tomorrows Poem by Red O'Mara

Yesterdays And Tomorrows

Rating: 3.9


It was only yesterday
I saw you, held you, loved you.
Barely twenty four hours spent
and still five long days until
I hold you once again.
Why is it that the future
is so more distant
than the past,
and five sleeps yet to come
would match a year ago?
A year to live,
a lifetime gone?
And how is it that a day
with you, so warmly in my arms,
can be weighed in heartbeats.

the future is more distant than the past because it never comes. :) but seriously, this is a really good poem, Red! !
