tomorrow’s another day
Linda M. Crate
you’re my fountain of joy
amidst the thorniest mountain of coldness
and difference i have ever known
rescuing me from complete
despair
because i know you would have been
gorgeous,
and we would have spent evenings
together glancing at the stars, skies, and moon
sharing and keeping secrets from one
another yet remaining
thick as thieves;
your father and i may have never worked out
but i hope you would have never broken
up with your mother
because that would have made my heart sad
for i would have given you all
my love—
one day, my star, we will shine brightly
together and be cascading
antelope of the sky
evading the grasp of lions like your father;
today, however, we must be parted
yet it will be okay
because tomorrow’s another day
we could meet.
