Gloria Garrion 

Fresno, California, USA 

I began writing poetry at a very early age. I am a former undercover store detective and juvenile counselor. I have had poems published in various Christian magazines, and by The National Library of Poetry. I now spend some of my time writing Christmas and Easter Pageants for Bethesda Apostolic Church, Fresno, CA, of which I am a member. I have enjoyed raising my own very large family, now I enjoy the peace and quietness to read and write. I find that when words are spoken, they are easily forgotten, while written words become alive, even when read over and over again. 

Unspoken Regrets

Cry Tomorrow 

I'll laugh today, oh yes pretend,  
and try hard, not to remember,  
the love we shared was all so new,  
Tis now like dying embers.  

I'll sing today, in spite of all,  
and try not think of you 
which only brings sad memories,  
for your love was so untrue 

although my heart is racked with pain,  
because of all life's sorrows 
Today, I'll hold back all my tears 
I'll wait...  
and cry tomorrow... 

Too Late
