Tomorrow
Tomorrow
One Day, I reached and sat on the highest peak that I could find.
After arriving, I quietly celebrated with pride my great climb.
After a while, I relaxed, looked all around, and reclined.
Inhaling the crisp clean air, I was rested and feeling fine.
Everywhere I looked, I was being captured by the tall pines.
None by God could arrest and speak such peace to my mind.
I was longing for Yesterday, supposing she would help me reach Tomorrow.
For comfort, Yesterday sometimes uses a stone, and not always a soft pillow.
I found Yesterday, although it was in a different state of mind, place, and sorrow.
Yesterday was unlike anything I expected, because time had erased its lovely face.
Yesterday had painted its own portrait, defying clarity and leaving so little trace.
I had accomplished my goal; but it left me win less at the end of an emotional race. I was so overcome with tears, that I was forced to appeal to God for more grace.
My great quest for Yesterday was much more than a ride down memory lane.
She was much like Today, playing her part; and some things about her caused me a little shame.
But thankfully, Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow, always seem to work together with God to ease the pain.
