Just For Today - A Poem for Me

My dear blog.  How I look forward to updating you every day.  However, there are just some days, I don't feel like talking the talk.  

So I wrote a poem for me today, a bit of my life I will send your way.

Just For Today

I love living in Singapore - this part is true

But if I had a choice, I would rather be with you.

When I wake in the morning the first face that I see

Are the ones that are over half a world away from me.

The giggles of your laughter, the smiles on your face

The twinkle in your eyes, the ease of your grace

Make most of my days shorter and easier to bear

But they also make me wish I were there.

Some days it is easy to put forward the walk

Lift up my head and talk the talk.

Some days it is okay to fill the void

With friends from far places and not get annoyed.

Some days it is fun to walk in the sun

Dance with the stars and not want to run.

Some days it is an adventure waiting to happen

An experience I wouldn't trade and plenty for scrappin'.

Today I am wishing I were home with you

And wishing that makes me feel a little bit blue.

Today I will allow for a moment of sorrow

Allow myself time for dreams of tomorrow.

Today I will long for the day when we move home

No longer filling our time with places to roam.

Today I will dream of our lunches together

Laughter and tears no matter the weather.

Tomorrow again I will live for each day,

Looking for things to pave our way.

Tomorrow again I will move forward

Discovering new lands and start looking shoreward.

Tomorrow again I will walk the walk

Start once again to talk the talk.

But today let me mourn what I have left behind

Mourn what I miss most and miss what was mine.
