John Posey Poet Rhyme

I'M Just Looking For Tomorrow

I come here when I'm lonely ---
when I get to feeling blue.
I keep looking for tomorrow ---
but, to find today will do.
Sometimes it all seems crazy ---
mixing memories and wine.
I'm just looking for tomorrow ---
in the things I left behind.

It's not always that I'm lonely
when I stop here all alone.
I like to dust off memories
that call this place their home.
The past goes running blindly
through a troubled, troubled mind ---
I'm just looking for tomorrow
in the things I left behind.

The things I left behind me ---
they're not here at all.
They’re just a part of yesterday
That sometimes I recall.
But, their memories, they all live here ---
and, Lord, you know they shine ---
I'm just looking for tomorrow
in the things I left behind.

Yes, I come here when I'm lonely ---
I come here when I'm blue.
I try to find tomorrow ---
when today is not yet through.
And it really does get crazy ---
just memories and wine ---
For I just can't find tomorrow
in the things I left behind.

Terry O'Leary November 4, 2012 at 2:12 PM Very good poem... enjoyable & thought provoking... Terry John Posey November 4, 2012 at 6:01 PM This was a collaboration with another person. I wrote the lyrics and he wrote the music. We didn't really push it. It's all been fun.. Thanks for your comments.... Jake
