Shirley Sibley Poet I do not know?

Hope For Tomorrow

Today is the tomorrow of yesterday.
Yesterday was the today of 'the day before'.

If there was 'Hope' for tomorrow when 
yesterday was here, did you latch onto it?!

Did you say, "Yesterday is gone and today
is spent!  Ah, but there is 'hope for
tomorrow'!?
Let me take hold of it now!
I must! For there is no other way!"

Yet your tomorrow comes, and when today,
what is done?

The hope for tomorrow has
slipped right through your fingers and
eventually becomes just another yesterday!

Meditate on it...Act upon it! Never let
'Hope for Tomorrow' lapse once again into
another forgotten yesterday...and then...
'The day before'!
