Today - Tomorrow

remember the 'no'
that made you cry
remember the 'yes'
that made you smile
remember the tears
that broke your heart
the hope that preceded dreams
the morning that started with laughter
the dance that created tomorrow
the moment that built a life

remember it all
when the sun seems to have set permanently
when the moon perpetually hides behind the clouds
when the stars don't seem to shine as brightly as they once did
when laughter turns to tears
when love turns to heartbreak
when dreams turn to dust

remember that a life
is the sum of all its moments
the sum of small tragedies and small victories
remember that success is defined by self
and we determine life fulfilled

remember
