Today Tomorrow OvermorrowBy SkykidjuanFairly treat him, that foster childWithout hate, strokes or going wildHe is weak today but tomorrow…By your side he’ll stay in joyAnd in sorrowLife is an illusionAnd that body is a flowerToday it is healthyTomorrow it’ll witherIt baths in the rainIn the rain it showersYou toil in painYou build your towersTo see the planesTo see the hillsBut just like that: before you know itTime flashes right before youHe cuts off air supplyHe turns off the pumpsThe neighbours cryThe children wailThey look at the skyTheir faces paleThey blow your AshesTo the wind of the seaHoping with little searchingIt is you they’ll seeBecause you were a good personYou were the last Mother TeresaYou loved your foster childYou loved everyoneYou were a good neighbourYou were a good wifeThat irreplaceable soul~END~
