Why Long For Tomorrow?
Why do most long for tomorrow;
it’s simply another today;
filled with heartaches and sorrow;
for all who get in its way.
All those elaborate plans for tomorrow;
soon are pictures; covered with dust;
tho on our future, many of us borrow;
even the interest becomes rust.
Hopes for tomorrow; soon fade away;
so many have come, and gone;
tomorrow becomes one more today;
lasting only dawn to dawn.
Many have learned to live day to day;
thinking tomorrow will never come;
living as though there is only today;
nevertheless; today will succumb;
If yesterday becomes today’s memory;
while the future remains concealed;
the future is only our dream; yet to be;
tomorrow, all dreams are revealed.
All lives are lived one step at a time;
none are able to jump ahead;
yesterday is past; tomorrow, sublime;
in the essence of time; we’re dead.
We’re told to take things as they come;
destiny, himself, is guiding our path;
when all our tomorrows are finally done;
destiny will get the last laugh.
