hold love tightly

Cliché calls for living

within moments,

But what’s more cliché

than living for tomorrow…

This day is all we have.

Now is all we are.

From your mothers hand,

to your lovers face,

Hold love tightly. and gratefully.

Today.

Respect that love

is bound to life as we are.

It is as valuable to us,

as the breath

that falls and rises

in your chest

Right here. Right now.

Today,

is all we have.

Love is all we are.
