It’s said tomorrow never comes Believe me it’s so true I’ve got a massive list Of jobs I’ve got to do... Tomorrow! I should not put off jobs Until a rainy day Unfortunately my tardiness will just add to the delay I promise I will get them done ... Tomorrow! 6/2/19

Indeed, there is never enough time in a day... and that precious time needs to be devoted to what is most important now or maybe not :) ... This is an expressive write that is so easy to relate to. Good work Jan!

G'day Jan … got caught out by this sign - free beer tomorrow. Went back the next day and the sign was still there. Your poem rings true - Lindsay

I think that when we have too much to do it gets on top of us Jan, and we do procrastinate , but it only just builds up - guilty as charged. Hugs, Jenny.

you can bet your bottom dollar that the sun will come out......TOMORROW! It's fun b/c I'm willing to bet I read your poem and posted this comment on Sunday night in Houston where I am when it's already tomorrow and Monday morning in the Isle of Jan where you are.

Its easy to believe that we always got tomorrow, but sometimes we never get the chance, Better live out our lives with preciousness and momentary intent. Nice one Jan. xo
