Before Tomorrow's Rain

Hold on to the good times.

Joy fills the heart

As a river fills the ocean.

Power to the soul imparts

Such an ignited devotion.

 

Take up your delights,

Whatever makes you happy.

Carry them in your sights,

Before tomorrow’s rain, store up faith to believe.

 

Making the most out of life,

Finding joy in the little things.

Laughing from within makes the spirit bright,

Enveloping all life brings.

 

Struggles come to reality,

And you know not what to do.

A prayer lifted keeps you free,

Before troubles reign, know what you have to come back to.

 

Love with everything you are

Those who have a place

In your deepest heart,

Before tomorrow’s rain.

 

For you never know

What tomorrow has in store.

It just may remind you that this world is on borrow

Until we all reach the ultimate shore.

 

Shout your love,

Hold on to your faith.

For there’s much to be done

Before tomorrow’s rain.

This poem holds such meaning. Many of us spend our lives living in the past instead of the present and we find we don't enjoy life as much. This was beautifully written :)
