Give Me This Day

 
Coming back from lunch I think of you,
Seeing a romantic encounter in the movies,
Reminds me of you,
How many days will it be
Until,
I can forget that I still love you.
I go to bed at night,
With visions of you in my slumbering sight,
You are featured in my dreams in flight,
As we exchange imagined kisses of pure
And mutual satisfaction which is what I reminisce to be sheer delight,
It seems even at night,
I long for the day to bask in your light
When,
Will the day come I no longer need your love?
I must admit to being selfishly inclined for
The day when you will call to be mine, or return
Back to me with whispers of want, need
And promises to stay for awhile or just forever,
Why am I so needy as I gaze up above,
Pleading for blessings that will
give me this day!
But the blessing are bestowed, but my mind lags behind,
Because you are gone and I’m surprised to find that my wishes for fulfillment have been met
As always time does reveal that my wishes are in fact
granted but I keep looking backwards to feel,
What yesterday already felt

Which is today, when all is forgiven,
and I have to smile, as I realize what I should never forget
What is now, is what has been given!
It is how I must always remember that, what has been given
Is easily taken away, so it does me little good besides to remember and forgive myself also,
OH LORD please,
Give me this day
