Tomorrow The Sky May Fall

~

~

Today you bring me flowers

with a smile upon your face

and love thoughts glowing in your eyes,

and we embrace

with warm and tender touch

that does not want to cease.

I close my eyes with giddiness,

enjoying your manly scent,

mingling with the perfumed blossoms

on which your pay was spent--

the sunshine bright, the sky so blue

our happiness beyond extent.

Know today that you I love

for tomorrow the sky may fall,

or you may wish that we had never met,

or one of us may not recall

the specialness that we possess

and promises we made, at all.

Love me this day before the petals

wilt and and fall in seeming sorrow;

'fore autumn leaves have blown away

and beauty's gone with none to borrow.

Smile at me so tenderly

as if there's no tomorrow.
