Hi, My 22 year old son has just had one of his poems published, would you mind if I spared it with you all. TOMORROW - Yesterday has vanished, it is no more Treading this way would be a dangerous flaw Today is for living, touching your world Savor its moments, as will soon roll on by Look forward to tomorrow, dont scatter it with fear But remember Dont sacrifice today for the hope of tomorrow That day may never come

Hi Ladies its me GG,
I too am another proud Mom. My middle daughter is getting her poems published this coming Spring and then again in the Fall. The book Patterns of Life comes out in the Spring, and the book Letters From The Soul will be out in the Fall. Her name is Jenifer Marie Jones. She's my baby girl. :) GG

GG...how exciting...a published poet. You must be so proud. We will all be waiting for her books to be available to us. The titles *Patterns of Life* and *Letters From The Soul* are great.
Jen...impressive work. I love your son's poem and how appropo and timely a reminder for us with the passing of Vickie. It sure says it all. What a talented 22 year old. Thanks so much for sharing it.
Blessings and be well.

OOooops Jen I totally forgot my congratulations to you on your sons accomplishments. Thats wonderful. Our children sure have a way of getting to our heart strings don't they? lol Patterns of Life and Letters from the Soul are going to be hard back poetry books. My daughter also told me that one of them will be put onto CD's as well.

this was written by my son right before a tragedy in our family.
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?
by MY SON PHILLIP G.
For a time they are here
but tis a fleeting moment
For when they are gone
It is forever
AS if time had stopped
and past was erased
No more will you see their face
Love them now and make it last
Ashes to dust and past is past
For when they are gone It is forever
And great sadness comes as it has ever
In your heart you can still feel them
In your mind's eye you can still see them
Wishing that they were still here
And that tomorrow was yesterday
If only you had the chance to do it again
What would you say?
