Tomorrow

We don’t know what tomorrow may bring
But we want something that will make our hearts sing.
And the things that will make our hearts sing
Is the beautiful memories that it brings.

What is tomorrow but another day
Another day of living, another day of giving
Another day of sharing, another day of caring.

All of our tomorrows will be yesterdays
And all our yesterdays are our pasts
And it will be another memory that will last.

Watching all the Doo wop groups of yester year
On  wpbt made me feel old as can be.
With each tomorrow brings you closer to old age
And your life will never be the same.

I will take all my tomorrows and hold them
Like a newborn child, and give thanks to god above
For showing me how to love.
And when my tomorrows become my yester years
With everyone that I know, these memories I will share.

All we know is our past and present, so we hold on to these memories, Louis. Giving praise to God for showing us how to love is very important. He gets lots of requests, but not enough thanks, Louis. Hope your tomorrows are filled with love! Enjoyed your poem. Love, Carolyn

Amazing! You bring to life to cherish every moment! I love it when you say "yester year". There was a pelling error or two, but the writingis phenomenal! The second stanza isn't my favorit, but I love the other 4. I would recommnd words like "moribund" and "proximity" for you. Thank you for posting this well-thought out and eloquently written poem!
