Tomorrow Will Be
It’s never tomorrow. It’s always today -
at least in this moment it is, anyway!
So if you are saying out loud a big Wow,
you’re not in tomorrow. You’re here in the NOW.
Maybe you said something great yesterday.
Tomorrow the same thing another may say.
Whenever they say it, that moment will be
in THEIR own “today,” which you cannot foresee!
The future is never one hundred percent.
The past has been purchased; tomorrow is lent.
Today we are paying right now as we go.
Enjoy it fully. It does not go slow.
Reminiscing is only for our yesterdays.
Living today, you’re right now in THIS phase.
Make wishes, but don’t squander time in that way.
Tomorrow will be what you make of today!
