Tomorrow Waits For You

Wait not for tomorrow, 

For tomorrow waits for you 

Today should hold no sorrows 

Ought be left in yesterday 

Wait not for tomorrow 

For tomorrow waits for you 

Thus should be no wish to borrow 

Then not repay yesterday 

Tomorrow holds for you 

A yesterdays tomorrow 

Here and now with-in today 

No longer awaiting you! 

Wait not for tomorrow, 

For tomorrow waits for you 

Where there's love enough, 

Thus we pray for today    

Yesterday's tomorrow, 

Today's tomorrow to be 

Still waiting for you and me 

We need not wait for it .... 

Today belongs to us now 

May we all Live it, 

Like it to be

our last.....

This is such a wonderful poem, and one that really makes you think, on top of that. It's worded wonderfully and truly a joy to read. If you submit this piece to The Unknown Network group I will feature it for your contest placement. Thank you!

A happy balance of living for today and a wee bit of forward planning is how we should live,but very few do !!! A good read

[Lyingwithlions]

Thank you for reviewing. :)

I think it's good to plan for the future but we can't live in it, or we miss out on today.

[Lyingwithlions]

I agree, but then-again how often do those plans work out the way we hoped.

Thank you for reviewing and leaving a comment. :)

[Cherry Pepperweb]

Rarely. So plan BIG. :)

Bravo! Great philosophical depth. Words cant say enough to do this poem justice so I will just......Standing Ovation! Clap! Clap! Clap!

[Lyingwithlions]

Thank you Bear! Means a lot, I strive for your standing ovations. :)
I'm working very hard to improve my poetry, your claps give me great motivation.

I agree my friend.
"Today belongs to us now
May we Live it,
like it could be,
our last..... "
Great wisdom in the outstanding poetry. Old wise saying. "Live today like it is your last day of life. Tomorrow isn't guaranteed."
Coyote

[Lyingwithlions]
