Heart Away

Given Rose
It's such a shame
You've left the hand
Yet I'm to blame

Taken Rose
One cannot see
Your fate is love
My love is grief

Fallen Rose
If left behind
To walk your path
See true the blind

Savored Grace
I will not leave
For fallen flower's
Hidden keep

Inner Strength
Look past to see
Your colored life
Now withered be

This Second

Yesterday is lost

Tomorrow is a possibility, not a guarantee

This second is yours without doubt

And then it passes

Longing for yesterday or waiting for tomorrow

While this second passes by

Is a shame

Live today, be today, cherish this second

And understand that in the grand scheme of things

There is little else that matters
