Today

tomorrow I will get to it,
tomorrow things will be better,
tomorrow my needs will be met,
tomorrow I will be happy,
tomorrow, tomorrow 
the sun will shine, the rain will fall, the snow will come,
Stop!
this is an error in thinking,
wishing for a steak while the ship is sinking,
pushing rope, grasping at air,
today is the only day to live, 
so I will live it fully and don't mind if you stare,
generating joy without regret or sorrow,
only once beyond this lifetime will I live tomorrow.
