What About Tomorrow

Tomorrow doesn't really exist
Please listen to what I say
Today is all there really is
it never goes away.

To say "I'll do something tomorrow"
is wrong, please let me explain
once the big hand passes midnight
by God, it's today again.

Nothing gets done tomorrow
it always gets done today
once 24 hours passes by
then it was done yesterday.

So don't plan to do "it" tomorrow
cause "tomorrow" just doesn't exist
do it today if it needs to be done
I'm not asking my friend - I insist.

Well that's enough of this silly charade
if you believe it, you have my sorrow
for me,  today's been a pretty good day
 but I'm hoping" it's better TOMORROW!

I sure do admire your perspective on life, Ralph. A super poem that showcases both your humorous and serious sides. (Perhaps serious today, humorous tomorrow?) LOL Your poem was such a delight to read. Rock on, Ralph. Love, Carolyn
