What will today bring? - By Belinda Johnston

What will today bring?

Watery eyes

A thousand breaths: one hearty

sigh.

Soft words, phone calls made -

hastiness undone: a new deed laid.

Clitter clatter of uniformed heels,

one gentle smile: happiness sealed.

What will today…

there is a huge amount of pathos in this, but i don't think it is overdone in the slightest! Lovely!!
