I completed this poem in March 2025. Tomorrow is a day that will never arrive when one thinks about it for it is always in the future. This poem speaks to tomorrow and the importance of living it today.
The promise of a new day
One with colour and not gray
The one we have lived for
No more surprises and nothing in store
The day that’s full of promise
For which we plan and yet miss
Always before us as we look ahead
Out of our reach with no mark of our tread
Postponed again so why dream
For a tasty day of peaches and cream
Why hope that today will be in the past
Clouds gone with sunny skies that will last
If never tomorrow, what do we do
How do we get a much better view
Let’s not live as if life will get better with time
Be the best we can now be, always at prime
Bring tomorrow forward into today
Live the way we wish the world as we pray
Make that difference now in how we live
Taking less for our wants so we can give
