Michael Degenhardt Poet Free verse

I Remember Tomorrow

I remember tomorrow so vividly
When dreams would awaken me from slumber
I would think about what would be
The new day and the fear would leave

I remember how when saddened
Thoughts of friends and times to share
Would inspire me to look forward
And not focus on the problems

Tomorrow was always going to be the best
Never on tomorrow would problems arise
Nor would chores be left undone
Never on tomorrow would decisions be bad, or
Choices be made for spite, but rather thought

I remember tomorrow
For without that memory
The life today would have no hope
There would be no inspiration
Nor reason to even try
The tomorrows of my youth
Have now become
My tomorrows, today

Carrie Richards August 1, 2008 at 9:58 AM I love these thoughts, Michael. We all hope for a brighter tomorrow. Dreaming about tomorrow, gives us another chance to "get it right", in case we didn't do so well today. Thoughtful poem! Sincerely, Carrie
