Tomorrow

Tomorrow
© N Noël May 2009


Tomorrow isn’t promised neither is today
Stop wasting your life wondering
If today will be “The Day”
Happiness is all around you follow God’s way

Live within the moment
Make the best with what comes your way
Don’t waste your time on incidentals
Don’t give your life away, pray, don’t be lead astray

The gift we are given so precious everyday
The life we choose to live make it count don’t live halfway
Savor; breathe in the good in spite of what your life “on paper” says

Each day brings new miracles adventures we must face
Go ahead jump in don’t hold back can’t win unless you try
Win or lose there is no shame disappointment follows grace
Take every opportunity to start again until you think its right

Seems a chore some days a ton life can weigh
Can turn into a feather’s weight learn to embrace your Faith
Tomorrow isn’t promised neither is today
Make each day count my friend don’t give your life away

Some good and not so fair can always cause us pain
Forget the fear behind the journey there is so much to gain
Climb mountains high, swim river wide now that’s living
Take on each new challenge with the breath you’ve been given

Throw away past hurts, mistakes and pain from long ago
Grab and hold fast to the present the things of here and now
Close your eyes, take a deep breath allow your spirit to grow

Tomorrow isn’t promised neither is today
Our past is behind us the future we can revive
Run naked, love hard, laugh often
Love yourself keep your joy alive

Old Enough

Old Enough
© N Noël May 2009


I’m old enough to know right from wrong
Old enough to cry
Experienced my share of sorrow
I’ve seen someone die

Old enough to have been in love once
And yes maybe twice
Seen the rising of the sun
From coast to coast and mountain high

Smelled the morning air of sea
Yes I’ve eaten a whole pie
Watched enough T.V. to know
The good shows have long passed us by

Old enough to see time pass
And know it won’t return
Take no moment for granted
With age that’s what I’ve learned

Old enough to appreciate family
Through good and bad times
Learned how to say “I love you”
Hug and apologize
Learned the words “I’m sorry”
Will surpass my pride

Breathe in each day as if it were my last
Won’t look back with regret
Old enough to know must treat Life with respect
Each moment that we are given
Give your all don’t hold back.
