we seek a vision of tomorrow
from the sands of yesterday
hoping the answers lie there
hidden within the tiny grains
millions of them are waiting
and each may hold a clue
if you examine each of them
you will have no time for now
I seek to live my tomorrow
as a gift to be unwrapped
I do not want foresight
or what would be the point?
we can ponder the outcomes
of what we did today
or live in the moment
making tomorrow fresh
but do not forget the past
that is what shapes us
nor dwell upon the next
because it has yet to come
enjoy the now that is
for that is all we have
grab your favorite cuppa
kick your feet up a bit
savor the flavor of now
smile and enjoy your day
Certainly, this sentiment has been said before by many. It always bears repetition so that someone might catch wind of it if they've forgotten, or "finally" hear it when they need it. I'd say we can plan for tomorrow, but, not go beyond a simple worry, which prepares us for what comes. Perhaps that's not always necessary. Who really knows?
