    Here today

    Gone tomorrow

    Yesterday’s joy

    Now brings deep sorry



    The person is no longer there

    You didn’t know her too well

    But she did not hurt your

    Single hair



    Here today

    Gone tomorrow



    For these moments

    You would beg, steal and borrow



    Moments slip by

    Like sands in an hourglass

    Nothing is permanent

    No matter how much you cry

    Or demand



    Here today

    Gone tomorrow



    Dancing on a mountain

    One moment

    Lying in the valley the next

    When it is your turn

    Doesn’t matter if you have status

    Or have success



    Here today

    Gone tomorrow



    Yesterday you mourned the

    Loss of a colleague

    Today, it is your loss

    Your coworkers grieve



    Passing never brings any relief

    Only our appreciation

    That we can still breathe



    Coworker I know passed away due to illness

    :hello:super. Loss of bosom pal put one in terrible grief. In joining the bereavement, there is a release of pent up emotions it can emerge as a mere cry in a dirge .
    You had given a nice tribute to your departed crony.
    The title reminds me a quote from great England resided thinker Krishnamoorthy, "today is continuation of yesterday and tomorrow is only extension of today and it is time flowing non-stop toward infinity"
    God bless us all.
