Right Now! Poem by Dorsey Baker

he is the kind of man
that tries to hold on
to things
a long time
he does not like to use
up his stuff
too fast
always trying to
keep some around for
hard times
he does not seem to
believe in the old
saying that there
is more
where that came from!
he may run low
but he won't run out
saving for tomorrow
but who knows
if tomorrow is ever
coming
today
could be the last day
for all we know!
when he becomes aware!
of all the people around
him some of the getting sick
and some of them dying
he comes to the conclusion!
that he is going to
live for today
and just hope for tomorrow!
