Nomorrow
Tomorrow shall bring
What tomorrow will bring
And I shall look upon it
With the same youth and wonder
As I have done everyday.
It it bodes well, then my face
Will be full of smile and colour
And if it does not? Then
I shall endevour to digest it
Through poem and prose
I will indeed survive it.
We as a race, as a people together
often look to tomorrow
because of today.
We gamble with ourselves
"the next day will be better",
That the small victories of now
will pale in those to come.
But, what if you had,
no tomorrow?
No, “next time”, no second chance?
Pray, I feel, you would sit
In most terrible sorrow
Consumed with regret of what
You have not and have done.
Staring at the darkness of
Nomorrow.
But please don't fret,
for it's not all over;
There is still much time left
For you to make mark and amends,
But with that sentiment,
you must remember;
your time in this place
has but fickle limit.
So stop putting things off,
or planning too much.
Stop making excuses
And be the best that you can.
For you wont be remembered
In the tomorrow
If you don't soon start living
For the today.
