Tomorrow
Aspiring
We dream, hope
In love we cherish
Hoping to find happiness
Thinking its out there
Always searching, yearning
Too many never realize
it is in the “here and now”
Dreaming and wishes
For something else
Longing for what will be
Always thinking about,
when it will come
Rarely appreciating
It is here now
The dream has come
We just forget to appreciate it
Living our lives waiting for Friday’s
Or this date, or when we accomplish that
Always waiting, wondering
for our ship of dreams
On tomorrow’s ship that is always sailing
Scheming for the boat, often losing hope
not realizing
ITS TODAY
Not living the dream
life is our dream
of appreciation of what we have
And making the best of it
Not lusting for what will be
Or another’s something
Its being something
Making yourself someone
Today
It’s a smile, a gesture
A joke
It’s not the hope
Of tomorrow
Its living our dream today
appreciating
Today every day
all it brings
Tomorrows anticipation
Of it never comes!
And when it does
Too many find they are still
Hoping, dreaming of nothing
But
Tomorrow
Not living today!
