In Honor of Today #2

Today is all we have

Its splash of gold and gray

Too soon must meet the aloof grave

Of touch-proof yesterday

Rhetoric of Bygone

Written with what has been

Pauses where today wakes the dawn

With Something never seen

Tucked twixt future and past

God overflows Time’s tray

With all that we will ever have

A present called Today

Yesterday's flow'r is done  
Tomorrow is a bud
Today is always in full bloom
So live and laugh and love
