TOMORROWS

 

Tomorrows are simply the continuations of yesterdays,

Yesterdays seem to be filled with fear, shame, rejection and abandonment,

All my tomorrows will be feelings of the same.

 

I already know from the depths of my soul that something bad is going to happen,

If it doesn’t, I will cause it to.

 

If things are going well, and happiness sneaks in,

I will find some way to destroy it.

Yesterdays are filled with so much pain,

I’m not sure I could handle the tomorrows filled with joy.

So as time goes on, tomorrows are constant continuations of yesterdays.

 

I wonder what ever happened to today?

I am always busy pushing the history of yesterdays into the future of tomorrows,

That I never have time to deal with today;

I am so familiar with yesterdays that I anticipate oncoming pains of tomorrows.

 

But today – just for a brief moment – today,

I let you in.

You in your wondrous way makes tomorrow a little brighter, and yesterday farther away.

Oh!  For this moment with you gives me hope of happier tomorrows and eases the pain from sad yesterdays.

Because of you, and those few moments with you,

I long for more todays, not pushing and wishing they would soon end,

I look forward with more excitement to the tomorrows,

Just so I face the yesterdays, and remember the joy of today.

 

Did you ever think that the sadness of your yesterdays,

Could make for happier tomorrows for someone out there?

All that pain can be transformed to help others understand their pain and grief?

 

Oh what a magnificent person you are!

What wonderful gifts you possess!

When you give them out,

The world is sure a better place to live.

What an inspiration you are to me!

 

Thank you for today.
