Tomorrow

Tomorrow is something to look forward to;
it makes one smile if their sad and blue.

However, we can't live in the land of tomorrow
because tomorrow is uncertain.

We must live in the now, one never knows 
when it's their final curtain.

Live for today with zest and much zeal,
not focusing on how you may feel.

Try to do things scheduled for tomorrow
today.
By doing so you won't have any regrets 
on life's sleigh.

Tomorrow is never ours to have. When you get to it, it'll already be too late... it'll be today and tomorrow no more.

All we have is the now, that is the only true certainty, we can sometimes get lost in our dreams of tomorrow that we forget to live for today, : nice one congrats
