Heidi Sands Poet Carpe Diem

There Is No Tomorrow

There is no tomorrow
Just think of it as this
Today is what you have
Time, choices, decisions
Opportunity to see what’s there
The sun, the sky, nature’s gifts
A chance to start something new
Today’s gift that can’t be renewed
There is no tomorrow
Just think of it as this
Live your dream today, don’t wait
Share as much as you can
Speak what you have to say
Before it may be too late
Appreciate silence, but balance it
With sound you can hear far and near
Today is a gift that you can count on
The future is gambled with only thoughts
       -   No guarantees   -
