Tomorrow Is Promising
Tomorrow is promising, why to yesterday succumb?
The future is brighter if not reflecting on the past
We cannot alter yesterday, lingering on its outcome.
Thinking we can change what happened is dumb
As events unfolded in our history, they will last,
Tomorrow is promising, why to yesterday succumb?
We are always moving forward in time, then some
Nothing remains the same and the future is vast,
We cannot alter yesterday, lingering on its outcome.
Forward thinkers focus on better days to come
Even when setbacks leave us somewhat aghast
Tomorrow is promising, why to yesterday succumb?
Living in the distant past can be, frankly, ho-hum
Like resting on one’s laurels can get old quite fast
We cannot alter yesterday, lingering on its outcome.
Proud of past achievements, some beat their drum
I prefer to think about what tomorrow may bring,
Tomorrow is promising, why to yesterday succumb?
We cannot alter yesterday, lingering on its outcome.
