Scarlett Treat - Now

God never promised me
A tomorrow,
Or tonight,
Or even this afternoon...
So, each moment I live
Is the most precious,
The best,
The most wonderful
Of my life.

So....I will live NOW,
And, somehow,
I will make today...
RIGHT NOW,
The best,
The fullest,
The most exciting
Of my life.

There will be no looking back,
No longing for what is past,
No looking forward,
Imagining something horrid...
But I will live in the NOW,
Rejoicing in your love.

Written for and dedicated to D. D., who has made the long journey back, down a rough road, and triumphed!
