Tomorrow never comes
When you're dreaming of a way
To focus on a future
Along the path from yesterday
We're rushing for tomorrow
The better days to come
But while we focus forward
We miss the rays of sun
We do not hear the birdsong
Or listen to the sea
We do not take these moments
When its just you and me
The years when you are growing
Will soon be in the past
The seeping of the knowledge
Some day will be my last
Stop the constant turning
Slow down and hold the days
Of holding you so closely
Of laughter in the haze
Stay a little longer
Hold my hand once more
Let's go back to the past times
And stay forevermore
If tomorrow never comes
I am not sure if I will be
Here tomorrow
If my father keeps me alive
Tomorrow I will be happy
I also know that I only live once
I won't live forever
So I must live my life
Every day to the fullest
We must choose peace
Not war
We must put our guns down
And stop training children to be soldiers
In the war
Children has the right to an education
Children have the right to be children
And to play with other children
Where it is safe
Give the children a roof over their heads
Feed those that are starving
Give the children some water for them to drink
Because they are dehydrated
Give the children a bed to sleep on
Give the children some clothes to wear
Stop child labor
Teach the children to pray
God keep the children alive every day
God wash the people's feet
God teach the people to fish for fish
People you can't live alone
You need friends in your live
Because without friends you will be
Living in Isolation
People use the gifts that God gave you
Don't let it go to waste
Somethings are better
done to day – tomorrow
never comes
like mending fences
and pitching hay
meal on the table
and time to pray
grace in the morning
at the end of day
remind those special someones
just how much you love them
do it without delay
tomorrow never comes
It’s true, tomorrow never comes;
In the last seconds of the day,
When darkness reigns
And moonbeams play,
When tomorrow’s late approach
So inevitably nears,
It’s today, not tomorrow,
That so freshly reappears.
This poem is for the people, we have cherished our entire life
It could be an aunt or an uncle, a husband or even a wife
Maybe a brother or sister, a cousin or just a friend
Remember to always forgive, don’t let that love come to an end
Give them hugs and kisses, and love them oh so much
You can brighten up a day, with just a simple touch
Never let a mistake, bring you distant years
You could end up in a church, saying farewell with just your tears
Tomorrow has not been promised, today is what we’ve got
Swallow your pride and anger, you’ll be pleased you gave it a shot
Don’t let a difference of opinion get in the way of doing what’s right
You’ll never know if that person, will still be around tomorrow night
Tomorrow never comes
when it arrives is today
and tomorrow will be yesterday...
live for today
that is what they say ~
does tomorrow e’er come
One can't help but wish that time would quicken,
for today's woes to be long forgotten.
But the spoils and toils of yester fester,
and cling to my clothes like smoke to a flame.
Oh how ones' hopes in tomorrow are all in vain,
to not focus on today to make amends.
For worse still tomorrow becomes tomorrow again,
an excuse so slain in deceit to oneself.
So don't negate today in search of tomorrow,
rather use today to fix the days henceforth.
For then regret will cast itself thin,
and only strength and joy will linger still.
I have decided something and I want you to know.
My life will change from tomorrow!
I will stop having sugar.
I won’t look at chips and cake and burgers.
I won’t even rise up late.
Gymming, swimming, running would be my date.
Its high time, I need digital detox.
Books all around would make me rock.
Meditation and Yoga: my new swank,
Would surely refuel my think tank.
Yes, I can foresee,
Tomorrow would surely see a better me!
But tomorrow never comes, Is a proven fact!
My dear heart, this is no pact!
It’s in my words and in my every deed
The tinge of love and compassion
Attentive to his every need
And cautious with his every move
He’s not the man he used to be
Half as strong twice as lovable
In my heart I live with fear
What if tomorrow never comes
Each moment treasured
Each confession savored
A tenderness that can’t be duplicated
An intimacy that can’t be bought
Precious moments together cherished
Making the most of time we’re granted
What if tomorrow never comes

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!

They say tomorrow never comes
believe me it’s so true,
I’ve got a massive list
of tasks I’ve got to do.
I shouldn’t put off those jobs
until a rainy day,
and all my good intentions
just add to the delay.
My desk is very messy
there’s a growing pile of dust,
I say I’ll tidy up tomorrow
I‘ll do it, yes I must!
I know the root of my trouble
I come up with an excuse,
and by saying I’ll do it tomorrow’
it really is no use.
So I’ll stop procrastinating
and I’ll forgo the sunny weather,
but I can’t tidy up today -
I’m having lunch with Heather!

The needful prescription is scary,
Though we promise ourselves that we’ll try it,
So let us eat, drink, and be merry,
For tomorrow we diet.
Tomorrow never comes
Lost in the memories of yesterday
Glories of triumphs bygone
Reveries intermittently broken
As pains from the boo-boos of yore
Break through to the fore
From their sepulchres
Deep, at the back of my mind
Where I'd had them entombed.
Yo-yoing between emotions;
Pleasant and afflictive
In self-motivation
I cultivate amendatory measures for your arrival
Till the sun is swallowed
By the open-mouthed horizon
And the ensuing darkness
Overcome by a golden lunar luminescence.
With a smile, I drift into a slumber.
In you I see a glimmer
Hope, far away on the horizon
That at the passing of today
You will ease the pain of yesterday
But again, I wake
Only to meet another 'today'
As always, you never came.
We try to understand, a new day,but when we get today it always comes tomorrow were hard to figure it out because,after tomorrow comes it's today after today tomorrow.they say tomorrow never comes ,so when you say after tomorrow it's today.when it's tomorrow it's never today.
