| I Wonder Why . . . by Angel 
"Sometimes, I just wonder why . . ." A friend said this today. Tomorrow isn't promised, Today's the day I say! Tomorrow may bring blindness, A heart attack, or pain. Perhaps I'll never get the chance To hear from you again. It may bring a loss of fortune, Perchance a speeding bus. What we do today is Entirely up to us. Let's say I love you to a child or write a far-off friend. Perhaps we'll even plant a tree, This injured Earth to mend. Forget tomorrow's forecast, Play in the sun today. Clouds may gather in the morn, yet today was not wasted away.

First 
Again, thank you both (how have I missed your kind words so often, Topaz????). The friend made some changes, made the break she needed to, and took some chances. She is now happily engaged and due to be married in November! In living for the day, although a little scary for her at the time, she found her future! 
I'm just happy for her!
