Tomorrow

Oh those candies behind the counter They look so good Just out of my reach I imagine My mouth waters You say maybe tomorrow Oh that bike High handle bars Banana seat Just like my friends bike So very different from my own My tomorrow never comes Oh those boots The smell and feel of the leather Check out the stitching Those pointed toes If only I could wear them tomorrow Oh all the things I want All just out of my reach Left for you to decide Your desires satisfied Mine set aside You say maybe tomorrow Oh I can hardly wait One day I will grow up The world will be my oyster I will decide I will have my tomorrow Oh he is so cute This gorgeous son of mine I want the best for him I can wait for me I'll give my best today I can wait till tomorrow

Endearing! A fine example of a father's love. Being a procrastinator myself, I understand where you are coming from. You gotta take that leap eventually or else you'll be stuck saying "maybe tomorrow". Awesome poem!

Richard...this is so so deep. I'm sorry so many of your tomorrows never came for you, but so glad you decided to fulfill the tomorrows of your son. Very endearing write. Bless you.

As an adult my cup truly runs over, mostly in the ways that matter most. Many of my yesterdays had been wonderful todays. I am now doing my best to enjoy all my todays.

Richard; This is a great tribute to your dad. That what parents do. their kids come first. We can wait for tomorrow.

Not really a tribute to my dad. He always satisfied all of his own needs. My mom and us kids were left with his leftovers. A bit backwards from the way most parents think.
